Β A complete ban on children under 18 using tanning beds in North Carolina is heading to Governor Pat McCrory’s desk. Β The Senate voted 48 – 2 Wednesday for the ban. Β The House approved the bill in March and previously in 2013. Β 

Physicians and cancer prevention advocates have pushed for the prohibition for years, citing evidence that tanning sessions lead to increased risks of skin cancer. Β Current rules require parental permission for children ages 14 – 17 to use a bed, and a doctor’s written prescription for those 13 and under.

So what do you think? Β Should teens be banned from using tanning beds?
