Rep Power: 10 | Re: Taking The Fight To Them Alone If I Have To Maybe so, but as an industry we must learn how to prevent fires, instead of just fighting them. There is too many and too few dollars available to win. We are not and have not been smart when it comes to dealing with our problems. |

I do agree with Peach that I would rather see them invest in a PR campaign effort telling derms and big pharma to put up or shut up. | |

That strategy has failed, continuing that strategy will lead to more failure. No serious PR effort has ever been mounted to put a positive spin on UV light. | |

Rep Power: 0 | Re: Taking The Fight To Them Alone If I Have To So I've been getting quite a bit of support in my effort to kill the Under 18 bill again this year even though ASA has told them we're good with it. Then today I get the following email from the representative who got the bill killed for me last year: -----Original Message----- From: Jones, Megan [LEGIS] [mailto:Megan.Jones@legis.iowa.gov] Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2015 2:51 PM To: Steve Scott Subject: Re: Under 18 Tanning Ban Steve- Thank you for the email. While I am no longer on the Human Services Committee, I have spoken with the floor manager of the bill. After hearing that many within the tanning industry actually support the bill, I agreed that should it move forward, I would support it. I understand the concerns of the American Cancer Society. That being said, I was also a teenage girl once and this is likely going to only cause teenagers to find a friend with a tanning bed in their home and cause them to tan there, beyond recommended times and twice. -Megan Thanks Joe. Good to have you in our corner. With friends like you... |

Rep Power: 22 | Re: Taking The Fight To Them Alone If I Have To Perfect example of why the ASA is wrong. It is one thing not fight the under 18 bans if they do not have the money or choose to spend it elsewhere. It is another thing to come out in favor and register in support of an under 18 ban. They should go study what is happening in England right now. A couple of years ago an under 18 ban was passed and sure enough things were quiet.......for a time. Now there is a movement underway for an under 21 ban. |
