The ultraviolet light used in tanning beds is as carcinogenic as asbestos, arsenic, radium and cigarettes, a special committee of the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer has concluded. The use of sunlamps had previously been classified only as "probably carcinogenic in humans." Moreover, the committee concluded that all types of UV radiation induce cancer, not just the UV-B that has been implicated in the past.

Other items listed in this category include beer, wine, and salty fish. There are also several variables that were left out of this study and this study should be amended. Further more you would be hard pressed to find anyone willing to go on record and say definitively that tanning causes cancer. I encourage people to research the information for themselves and not trust what the media portrays. You need vitamin D, you need UV exposure,just use common sense. A glass of red wine a day is good for you, that doesnt mean go out and get wasted. Same with Tanning,be responsible. Remember without UV (the sun), life on this planet would cease to exist. BTW, here are some interesting facts.The Sun has been on this same list since 1992.The majority of people that develop skin cancer work indoors, and live in milder climates.
