Seriously - this is so important in California. The Gov is right on it. Never mind the unemployment, but we need to solve this right now. Oh, how Arnold is missed now.
"Glad to see Brown is dealing with the really important issues in California. People can’t find work, can’t afford basics, and the state is collapsing from all sides… but children are safer now that UV beds are banned to them."
"Apparently they can get an abortion without parental approval but cannot get a tan. "
"Great, now all those tanning hooligans are gonna be out on the public beaches. Probably joining tan gangs"
Minors in the state of California will no longer be allowed to use tanning beds after Governor Jerry Brown signed a bill on Sunday prohibiting anyone under the age of 18 from using ultraviolet tanning devices.
California is the first state in the nation to ban minors from using tanning beds, legislators said.
Previously, California had banned minors under the age of 14 from using tanning beds, but allowed those between 14 and 18 years of age to use tanning beds with parental consent.
The bill was part of a cluster of legislation signed on Sunday designed to "improve the health and well-being of Calfornians," according to a statement from the Governor's office.
"I praise Gov. Brown for his courage in taking this much-needed step to protect some of California's most vulnerable residents -- our kids -- from what the 'House of Medicine' has conclusively shown is lethally dangerous: ultraviolet-emitting radiation from tanning beds," the bill's sponsor, state Senator Ted Lieu, said in a statement.
"If everyone knew the true dangers of tanning beds, they'd be shocked. Skin cancer is a rising epidemic and the leading cause of cancer death for women between 25 and 29."
The law will go into effect on January 1, 2012, according to Lieu's office.

Just posted a response to this in 333's thread. You can be 16 to drive a car but 18 to tan. Mentally disturbed idiots.

So we should just let the work force of tomorrow to be riddled with skin cancer. Why the fuck would anyone do this in the name of fashion ???

Also the "California dream act." oh brother ::)
CA is digging deeper to see how far bankrupt they can possibly go. How the hell do people continue living there??

We have had that law in place in Australia for quite sometime now. It's a smart move because most of the damage done to skin from UV exposure occurs before the age of 18.

I wonder if these heros like the coach have ever watched a loved one die of cancer. Melanoma attacks the body in a brutal unrelenting way. Tanning salons are as bad as cigarettes.

See...this is where the commonsense thing comes in. A tan bed vs. a 2500lb piece of metal and a kid driving it with little to no experience. 18 for the tan bed..16 for a car. Do the math. The likely hood of that kid getting skin cancer is a lot less that that kid getting in an accident getting hurt or killed, especially with cell phones and texting.

But there's a huge advantage to children learning to drive while still under the control of their parents, people that learn to drive in their 20's usually turn out to be horrible drivers. People that tan while under the age of 18 do nothing other than create a future wave of cancer. Again ability to make rational decision is key.

The issue is not whether something is good or bad for you but who should decide. Of course, minors do not and should not have the same rights as adults. In California a minor already needs parental permission to use a tanning bed. That's good enough for me. We don't need the government again intruding on the personal lives of their citizens.
California is a State run by democratic liberals. They are totalitarian by definition. They want to control every aspect of your lives: what schools you can send your children to, how much water you have to use to flush your toilet, what light bulb you are allowed to use, what kind of shower head, whether Happy Meals are allowed and can they include a toy, whether or not you can allow someone to smoke you in place of business -- a friend of mine actually opened a tanning salon in Torrance and when he was all set up the totalitarians came in and said he had to replace the door knobs. They were the lever type. Only the round type is allowed. Seriously. He explained that he wanted the lever type because people use lotion and it might be harder to turn the door knob with your "lotioned" hands if it was round. With a lever type you just push down on it. No dice. He had eight rooms, $25 a pop for the door knobs he had to toss, and another whatever cost to have them replaced.
Government just needs to get off our backs! And the only way is to cut off their life line. Lower taxes. The less money the government confiscates from you the less power they have over you. They would not be able to afford these worse than worthless departments whose only purpose is to control more of you life.

If Booty agrees you may get one from a woman in her forties, new territory for you.

You don't see many tanning booths here anymore. Spray tans are more popular. I've shunned both....tanning beds/stand ups are dangerous and the spray tans really dry the skin out which is aging.

Emotional reaction, this makes perfect sense, you guys try way to hard at turning your beliefs into a religion. The beds put children at way to high of a risk for cancer, no parent should be allowed to abuse thier children in such way, when it provides zero gain for society.
Again you folk in one minute be bitching about weed(much lower cancer rate) with serious benefits, and then defending tanning beds a total plague to our health, and a sign of our culture going way to far with it's selfishness.

You have to sign a form here before you can use a tanning bed/stand up. It outlines all the risks etc.

I don't have a problem with weed.
Children in Cali and here in Hawaii stay out in the sun -- the real sun -- all day long. For hours and hours at a time. Some, like I did when I was a kid, get sun burn. Should we now have a law that limits the time kids can be on the beach? They have to go trough a turnstile and punch a time clock?
Where are you from?

The sun is very intense here and the fact that Australia has the highest skin cancer in the world, means that children are educated from a young age to slip, slop, slap. Slip on a shirt, slop on a hat and slap on sunscreen 30+. The schools are also sunsafe, which means that you can't go outside unless you are wearing a hat. There is sunscreen in the classrooms for the children to put on.
I think that Australia is leading the way and other countries are following.

I'm all for education and moral persuasion. But when it comes to using the force of the law -- which essentially comes down to "Do what we say or we will fine you, don't pay the fine we will arrest and imprison you, resist imprisonment and we will hurt you and even kill you if necessary" we should be very circumspect in giving them even more power to control our lives.

fuck that. These people will die young anyways most likely. I will never touch sunscreen, why fuck with nature your body makes vitamin D and the health benefits of the sun are numerous.

The health benefits of the sun are valid, however where I live we have too much exposure to the sun and no ozone layer. Everything in moderation they say.

Exactly! That's why I wonder if this recent discovery of the rampant deficiency of Vit D has to do with people avoiding the sun. Do you really think we were meant to get virtually NO sun exposure. Doesn't make sense to me. I remember reading as a kid about the Olympic athletes in the Soviet Union. Part of their training was to get 20 minutes exposure to sun lamps twice a week. There's not much sun in Russia and the Soviets believe in the health benefits of some UV light. I think if anything tanning beds are much safer because you have far greater control of the intensity and exposure time. It has less of the burning rays that the sun has. And people are busy. They work during the day and there's no guarantee that there will be sun on the weekends. So if the choice is between no sun exposure or a tanning bed once or twice a week I think tanning beds serve a very useful purpose.

It used to be marketed that tanning beds were safer than the real sun but that isn't the case. You only need to get 10 mins of sun on any part of your body daily to receive enough vitamin D. Sunbeds are artificial ultravoilet rays and artificial light has been linked to melanomas. Give me the natural sun anyday!

But what if the choice is between no sun and 10 minutes in a tanning bed?
And the percentage of people who get melanoma from tanning beds compared to those that get them from the sun is trivial. And UVB/UVA rays are UVB/UVA rays. It corresponds to a certain frequency and your body doesn't know if it's coming from the sun or from a bulb. Just like an endocrinologist told me that testosterone conforms to a specific molecular structure and your body doesn't know if it's coming from you pituitary gland or an injection. It treats it the same way.

Well firstly, I think that tanning beds are less intense than those stand up ones. The stand up ones here go for 3/6 and 9 min intervals. So if I had a choice to absolutely no sunlight or ten mins in a tanning bed, I would probably choose the tanning bed twice per week only because when I lived in Melbourne the winters would make me feel quite down and so I know I need ultravoilet rays to keep me feeling happy mentally.
Obviously it depends on where you live in the world because someone who was in a very cold climate and did not see much of the sun would probably benefit from a tanning bed, where as where I live we need to actually get out of the sun. I wear 30+ on my face/neck and chest all year round every single day. I do not lay out in the sun here in summer, in fact I avoid it at all costs...even do my cardio at 4.45am so to avoid the strong rays. By 6.30am here in summer you can't be out in the sun...it's just too hot and intense. I do however lay out in the sun during the winter months here, but I still protect my face/neck and chest.
