Sunbed Bill - Action

by helenleathem @ Monday, Jan. 01, 2007 - 15:33:24

Happy New Year to everyone first of all - here's to making 2007 a healthy and happy one!

I've just read Lee's update on Ken Macintosh's bill calling for a ban on unsupervised tanning booths and on children using sunbeds in the UK. I never realised they were actually allowed to - I naively assumed that there was an age limit on using sunbeds?

As one of my New Year resolutions I'm going to make it my mission to help to raise awareness of Melanoma. I go to a gym in central London (actually across the road from the Houses of Parliament - nice position eh!), and I'm going to be dropping one of Cancer Research's simple and informative leaflets into the sunbed room for users to read:

Cancer Awareness Leaflets
