  • I'm 17 and going away in 3 weeks on vacation and right now I'm as white as a ghost. If i use a tanning bed 5 times for 7 minutes each to get a base tan, will my chances of cancer increase by 70% still? I find the media does not account for moderation.

  • its as deadly as arsenic? i highly doubt it. you need to ingest a big chunk of those beds before it gets as instantly deadly as arsenic witch a few drops will do the job nicely. secondly the large size makes ingesting rather difficult so its child safe cant really say that about arsenic..

  • @Limegreensox ur a freaking idiot!!!!! the sun is 100 times worse!! 100% natural UVB RAYS BUDDY !! u have to burn to get skin cancer. In tanning beds the UVB RAYS r controlled. the sun is all natural & u don't get shit from eating or drinking food to get enough Vitamin 'D' the natural way of getting V 'D' is from UV exposure.

  • @Limegreensox Because everybody looks better with some color!!! duhhh

  • WHAT A BUNCH OF CRAP!!!!!

  • the big question here is why are people so self concious of their natural skin color? why cant people just appreciate themselves the way they were made, some people just werent meant to be tan.

  • Don't try and tell me differently, my mom, grandama, and grandpa all had or have skin cancer. i know the dangers of tanning! and dont try and pull that people are naturally supposed to be out in the sunlight crap b/c although that is true, the life expectancy was alot shorter than...people didnt live long enough to get skin cancer!

  • whoever is believeing this vitamin d stuff is an idiot. People naturally get enough Vitamin D. Tanning Beds are never used in moderation, if they were then you would only have to be in it for 2 or 3 minutes...not even long enough to get a tan. Tanning beds are 10 times harsher than the natural sun.

  • Who says that tanning beds are as deadly as arsenic is really an idiot. The UV rays of a tanning beds are exactly the same UV rays of the sun. Without sun all life on earth would simply die.
