Ohio considering ban on tanning for under 18

Lawmakers in Columbus are considering a bill that would prohibit anyone younger than 18 from using a commercial tanning bed without a doctor's perscription for UV treatments.

Sponsor is State Representative Courtney Combs (R-Hamilton).

Current law requires minors to have parental permission before using a tanning bed.

I think it's good because research has shown that those that expose themselves to artificial tanning room/beds increase their chances of getting skin cancer more than twice a month by more than 200%. That's scary!
