Under 18s protected from sunbed dangers, UK

the lie (Regulation) Act 2010 is to under 18s on the search for a year-round tan protect endanger their health.

Over exposure to the UV radiation has become the main cause of skin cancer. Despite this risk, the fashion for sunny skin led to an increase in the demand for the artificial tanning industry.

The change in the law comes as cancer research UK launches 2011 campaign, which shows more than two people every day diagnosed SunSmart under 35 with skin cancer. The 15-17-year old girl in Liverpool and Sunderland with them are on average six percent of 11 - 17 year old in England use with 50%.

The law prevents that from among 18-year-old: must use tanning salons and included in the kit including the beauty salons, leisure centres, gyms and hotels; offered by a solarium use; and in an area which may be user for sunbed.Authorities responsible for the enforcement of the Act of company and premises to ensure that they comply with the new rules.

Anne Milton said:

"Cases of skin cancer each year continues to increase." This new law is somehow to reduce one of the largest cancer among 15-24-year-old.

"We want to protect under 18s from the dangers of sunbeds and reduce the number of young people getting skin cancer."

"My message to young sunbed user is clear: you put your health at risk." "Intense bursts of UV radiation can damage your skin, even after only one use."

Chief Medical Officer professor said Dame Sally Davies:

"The scientific evidence is clear - sunbeds increase the risk of skin cancer, with an estimated 100 deaths per year get skin cancer due to a person with sun beds."

"Skin cancer is one of the most common cancers in the United Kingdom." Damage to the skin of artificial or natural sunlight can develop years and young people are particularly at risk, and that is why I welcome this new law, which protects the under 18s.

"It is important that young people their health are aware that she compromised with sun loungers and is my advice to people of all ages, that are are not safe for cosmetic purposes."

Sarah Woolnough, Cancer Research UK Director of policy, said:

"As well as under 18s before sunbed protect, we hope that the legislation sends a clear message to all, a solarium using increases the risk of skin cancer." The World Health Organization has classified sunbed use in its highest cancer risk category, together with tobacco.

"Skin cancer rates continue to fast, especially among under - 35s rise as shown by our SunSmart campaign earlier this week, so we encourage to take care of the people in the Sun and avoid you are." "The surest way to get a tan is fake."
