Are tanning beds safe?

Hm, there are a few studies showing that using tanning beds actually causes cancer and a bunch of other health problems.  Maybe we can summarize them for you?  For example:

A 2012 study in the Annals of Internal Medicine looked at rates of melanoma among 290,000 tanning salon users and found they had a 76% higher risk of melanoma than the average American.  Other tanning studies suggest increased risks of melanoma, non-melanoma skin cancer, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes.

The 2015 World Health Organization cancer fact sheet also found tanning beds to be a risk factor for melanoma.

The American Cancer Society has this to say about tanning beds:

The American Cancer Society's expert review panel says that a person who uses tanning beds or sun lamps exposes his or her body to unsafe levels of ultraviolet radiation. UVA rays can damage the DNA of skin cells and cause melanoma and other types of skin cancer.

This video explains why tanning beds can cause cancer, and lists some of the negative impacts of UV rays on skin:

Tanning beds also emit high levels of ozone and can cause asthma attacks, which can make it harder to breathe.

Tanning beds pose a risk of cancer and premature aging, and may also increase the risk of skin damage and sun damage.  It is therefore recommended that people avoid tanning beds.  Tanning beds are particularly dangerous for young people, since their skin is still developing.
