Quote:it appears from these results that the regulations in effect in the U.S. have adequately protected the indoor tanning users from one of the more serious problems that could arise from abuse of such devices.

Quote:In conclusion, indoor tanning has been found to be associated with about a 50% increase in melanoma rates in studies in Europe and Canada, while no increased risk was found in the U.S. The difference may be due to better regulations governing the use of indoor tanning facilities in the U.S.

This is exactly why I think we should all be working with the states to get reasonable regulations in place and enforced!
