Even more reasons to spray tan and stay out of those tanning beds… President Obama has imposed a 10% excise tax on the use of indoor tanning beds as part of healthcare reform. This seems to be a pro-active approach to lower the estimated 3.5 million cases of skin cancer detected each year. This means the $35 tanning bed session you purchase will be going up $3.50! Spray tanning is the healthier, wiser, unnecessary taxless way to go! To start your own mobile spray tan business e-mail information request to info@boldbodybronzing.com!
NEW YORK, March 23 (UPI) — The 10 percent excise tax on the use of indoor tanning beds as part of healthcare reform may save lives, U.S. skin experts suggest.
Dr. Bruce E. Katz, educational spokesman for The Skin Cancer Foundation, says there are more than 3.5 million estimated cases of skin cancer detected each year — making it the most common cancer in the United States. Research has proven an association between all forms of skin cancer and ultraviolet radiation, including the ultraviolet radiation from indoor tanning beds, Katz says.
