A research shows more people are addicted to tanning without understanding the risk of getting sun burnt or skin cancer. See the tanning chick of tanning effect!

Researchers have found yet another activity people can become addicted to…Tanning.

Depending on which survey, somewhere between 26%-53% of people were considered addicted to tanning.

“Most of the people on the beach know that sunlight causes skin cancer — just like smokers know smoking causes lung disease and lung cancer. But they just can’t stop,” said Dr. Richard F. Wagner Jr., professor of dermatology at University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston.

An addiction to tanning is not a new idea, most people probably know someone that can’t stop baking themselves. In fact, there are three states that have age restrictions on tanning. In Texas you must be at least 13 years old, Illinois 14, and Wisconsin 16. My question is, how in the world do you enforce that? And WHO enforces this? Regular cops?

Maybe a Tan-Squad? If they’re repeat offenders, do you take away their cocoa butter? Why are some people addicted to tanning? Some speculate it’s another quest to look beautiful, as having a nice tan
means you are healthy. Others believe that being in UV sunlight releases endorphins, which makes us feel happy.
