Sign the petition to ban sunbeds for under 18s
We don't want to get all preachy on you, but did you know that skin cancer is now the NUMBER ONE form of cancer among young women?
Girls in the UK in their 20s are diagnosed with malignant melanoma at a rate of almost one a day! Which is twice as common as breast cancer and 1800 people die from the disease every year. It's pretty scary isn't it?

Anyway St Tropez, the self tanning giants are campaigning - along with the government - for stricter regulations on sun beds, particularly for under 18s. But you lot are too smart to use sunbeds anyway, right?
They've launched an online petition this week which you can sign by clicking here and visiting this website
Get over there, and then scroll down and tell us what you think.

they shouldnt be banned because that just causes a uproar, i think that there should be more awareness of sunbeds, there should be plenty of warning to people who use them

I think they should be banned because they damage peoples health and skin, and natural tann looks well better.

I think sunbeds should be banned altogether, not just under 18s. Sunbeds are so bad for peoples health and a natural tan looks much better than being orange anyway.

You just gotta trust Under 18's not to use them unless their parents say they could use them
