Place cancer warnings in tanning salons and limit use of persons under the age of 18 without parent or guardian present.

Melanoma is the most common form of cancer for young adults 25-29 years old and the second most common form of cancer for adolescents and young adults 15-29 years old. It is increasing faster in females 15-29 years and one American dies of melanoma almost every hour. Statistics tell us that the use of a tanning bed before the age of 30 makes you 75% more likely to develop melanoma and that 10 tanning sessions over a lifetime increases the risk of melanoma by 50%. The World Health Organization have rated tanning beds as a Type-1 carcinogen, alongside tobacco, asbestos and arsenic. Please, we are begging that you make young people aware of the dangers of tanning before it's too late.
