Should tanning salons be banned?
A fourteen year old has suffered 1st degree burns after spending 19 minutes on a tanning bed, in a salon that was unstaffed.
The place had warning signs stating that you have to be over sixteen to use the beds and the fourteen year old has admitted that she saw them, but still chose to use the beds.
A consultant dermatologist said it is the view of both the British Association of Dermatologists and the British Medical Association Cymru Wales that unstaffed tanning salons should be banned.
However Mr Hadley the owner has said "It's an unfortunate incident. We do feel for the girl but she shouldn't have gone on for that length of time. It's just been blown up out of all proportion."
Do you think these places should be banned full stop, or allowed with staff present at all times, to monitor the users and the time spent on these 'I want to be orange' beds!

there were warning signs. i presume at 14yrs old she can read. her mother works in health and safety and the girl wants to be a barrister. (I'm sure she'll make a good one). I saw her on the tv yesterday and my immediate thought was "well she sounds bright enough" but she chose to ignore the signs and no amount of legislation can cover stupidity. You can argue and say that at 14 you're allowed to be stupid but she'd asked her mum for a spray tan and was refused and they may well have had a conversation about tanning anyway.
Tanning salons shouldn't be banned, people have a right to toast themselves to bright orange if they choose but at the same time, pubs and off licenses ask for proof of age so for something like this i feel that these tanning centres should be manned not banned.
