HAZARDS: Indoor Tanning Is Linked to Skin Cancer.

Indoor tanning almost doubles the risk of dangerous melanomaskin cancer, and the more hours spent tanning, the greater the risk, according to a new study. Those who used indoor tanning devices were 1.74 times as likely to develop melanoma as those who did not. Frequent users -- who had more than 100 sessions or 50 hours of indoor tanning over 10 years -- were at 2.5 times the risk of non-users, the study found. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
