Banning Tanning

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 6:08 pm

In recent days the debate over tanning equipment and the regulation of it in Ireland, has come to the fore. This was thanks to Lance Armstrong and his www.livestrong.com cancer campaign. I suggest that it is impossible to effectively regulate the market for synthetic or light based tanning products in Ireland. Commentators have remarked similarly and that tanning services could not be properly stated to be the root cause of skin cancer. It was most likely that the national penchant for getting sunburned raw red or beetroot colour might be more or equally weighted in the blame game. During one particular interview, a representative of city based tanning parlours mentioned that the intensity versus timing of lamps had already been regulated by the European Commission. The weaker the intensity of the lamp, the longer the tanning time takes, the higher the revenue for the retailer. Surely, disclosing such a common sense business model was a faux pas. Where tanning and burning are recognised factors in the development of carcinogenic illnesses common sense should really prevail. Off with you now, to buy your fake bake! Mind you, looking at some of the articles we have on the streets who are caked in fake bake, streaked fake tanning should also be banned!
