:silly:

The majority of people who use sunbeds have signficantly increased their risk of life-threatening skin cancer, experts warn. Research suggests people who start using sunbeds under the age of 35 increase their risk of malignant melanoma by 75%.

A survey of 4,000 people by Cancer Research UK found that 82% of sunbed users fell into that category.

The poll also found one in three women, and one in four men had used a sunbed.

The charity is launching its annual SunSmart campaign by warning that exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays in the tanning salon can prove as dangerous as getting burnt on the beach.
