With sand being a danger to beachgoers this summer, many might be seeking their sun-kissed glow from one of the many tanning beds around the city. But wait, those aren't safe either! 1010WINS warns they are now in the top cancer risk category, "deeming them as deadly as arsenic and mustard gas" and pointing towards a new study that says "the risk of skin cancer jumps by 75 percent when people start using tanning beds before age 30." What's most surprising is that we are hearing this in 2009. Anyway, since experts have now found that all types of ultraviolet radiation are carcinogenic (previously, only one type was thought to be lethal), what will it mean for tanning salons? The new classification places them alongside tobacco, the hepatitis B virus, chimney sweeping, and other things that can definitely cause cancer. Find out what else will likely kill you, tonight at 11.

It's the same media that NEVER mentioned Muslims' hatred of Israel as a possible motive for 9/11.

Um... this is news?
what kind of cancer is caused by Hepatitis B? liver?
If they are that dangerous then why haven't they cracked down on this industry yet? Everyday there are thousands of children across the country jumping into these cancer causing contraptions but nothing is being done to protect them? Lack of oversight gives a dangerous message that they are not all that harmful.
Yeah, kind of like how the tobacco industry wasn't cracked down on until the last decade. Before that nooooooobody thought smoking was bad for you.
Common sense should tell you that baking yourself silly isn't healthy for you.
Seriously, how is this news? I knew they were bad for you 20 years ago as a little kid when my mother told my sister she was going to get skin cancer after she went in one. It doesn't exactly a genius to figure out that if UV rays cause skin cancer, concentrated UV rays cause more cancer.
Gotta love our ass backwards society. It's ok to pay to get in some man made contraption that might give you cancer, but it's illegal to smoke weed, something that can be naturally grown, and even has some medicinal value.
Anti-drug laws were based violent crime fears, not health. Not so much crime to support a drug habit, but the very use of drugs would make almost anyone a violent maniac.
Ha, ha, ha, ha!!!!! someone brought up weed!!!

There goes my plan to slowly rid New York of people from Staten Island.
Now we just have to saturate the world's supply of hair gel with the eggs of flesh-eating spiders.

No shit!
That American Apparel ad on the left is killing me, in a good way.
Oh yea, she gets it.
These ads make me skim articles because it looks like I'm watching porn at work. :(
Maybe for white people im mixed and have mild bouts of psoriasis that is kept mild by uv light.
hahaha chalk another one up for white people trying to be darker...hahahahaha
So someone decides to lay in a tanning bed instead of on the beach. So what. They can't regulate the sunlight. Or can they... Mr. Burns?
Spray-on tans are the way to go. They're safe. For the most part. Although there is a minority that believes the DHA in those sunless tanners is hazardous.
I used to know a very pretty 20-something girl who could give George Hamilton a run for his money in the dead of winter. That had to be a bed tan. She looked great and always turned guys' heads, but I really don't want to think what condition her skin will be in by the time she hits 40. Even if she doesn't get melanoma, she'll be a wrinkled hag.
Damn. Now I have to go downshore to get my "raccoon eyes"?
