Can someone show me how many cancer related deaths can be 100% attributed to indoor tanning?

I see so many positive results from indoor tanning, from personally being partial interest in a salon, that the negative press that we receive is unreal. Alcohol, tobacco, lifestyles-all still legal, and possibly deadly, but yet no one keeps harping on them. We know it, accept it, and make our own personal choices. I personally tan doctors, nurses, politicians, people referred by these same doctors to treat skin disorders, depression, etc etc, it just comes down to the same old game: money.


Dermatologists can't state the benefits, because their interests would be somewhat compromised if their clients didn't need to visit them as often. Please someone give me the number of cancer related deaths directly attributed to indoor tanning, so that we may be able to compare it to, say, getting trampled by a herd of kittens, or dying from an exploding bowling factory whose balls knocked you down from the sky. FACTS-not guesses.

No cancer can be 100% attributed to one thing. We live in a World full of carcinogens. Anyone of them can cause cancer.





Indoor tanning, tobacco use, abestos and, many other things have proven to be potent mutagens but, this does not gurantee cancer. However, these carcinogens increase the risk of cancer because every cancer is a specific set of genetic mutations. If you get the right combination, you get cancer. Therefore, to lower your risk, lower your exposure to carcinogens.





You make a good point. People should educate themselves about the risks in anything and, live to their comfort level of risk. Not just with cancer but in all aspects in life (the way you drive, financial opportunities, career opportunities, etc.).
Reply:This is like asking a pharmaceutical company to suggest to Dr's that they give samples of a cancer curing pill.
