According to this article some trade unions are calling for sunbeds to be banned. The Society of Radiographers (SoR) has called the use of sunbeds for cosmetic purposes unnecessary and has called on the government to highlight the dangers. The SoR has said that skin cancer is the most common cancer among 15 to 34 years olds in the UK and that it kills more than 2,000 people a year. What is not clear is how many of these are directly related to the use of sunbeds. Personally I would not consider using a sunbed, as I believe the risks far outweigh the benefits. What do you think, should sunbeds be banned?
