Should tanning be banned at DU?

It causes skin damage, right?

1. okay, that's just plain silly.

Just because I sit in my tanning bed with my laptop, sheesh.

how would DU know?

3. I tan...

It's my skin. I know the risks. I choose to take them.
It's like smoking. Nobody who is currently smoking can honestly say that they aren't aware of the health risks associated with the behavior. If they choose to continue this behavior, it is their decision to do as such.

5. It really ages you.

My wife just told me about a young girl in which it happened to her.

She used tanning beds all the time.

I stay out of the sun and I look a lot younger than what I am.

6. I am a SPF 40 type of gal...

Everytime I get in the sun, I turn into a lobster. I have dark hair, really pale skin, and green eyes. I have no desire to tan though...It is unhealthy, and it causes premature aging. I was out with a 16 year old neice over the holidays(who has what I call Tanorexia), and people thought I was the younger one...I am 26.
