News flash... indoor tanning is no worse than being outside in the sun! I work at a salon and we have doctors/dermatologists that tan.

Ah ha! And now it begins. It's OK to tax cigarettes because of the health problems associated with them....but don't tax a tanning bed...even though it causes skin cancer.....hello pot - hello kettle - can you say BLACK?

Hey - all of you opened the door for this with the tobacco tax. Now the government is going to make sure you reap what you sowed.
