"Tan until the date of your prom for only $99!"
"Get your skin ready for prom! One month of unlimited tanning!"
Teens are putting themselves at risk when they fall for ads from New Hampshire tanning salons like these. Using tanning beds before age 35 increases the risk of developing melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, by 59%.
New Hampshire already protects kids under 18 from cancer-causing tobacco products. Let's keep them safe from the dangerous UV radiation of indoor tanning facilities as well.
An estimated 400 Granite Staters this year will hear the words, "You have melanoma."
But you can help change that.
On Wednesday, a bill that would keep kids under 18 from using tanning beds will be voted on by your elected officials in Concord. Please contact your state representatives and ask for their support of this important bill.
Thank you for making a difference.
After months of delay and hard negotiations, Congress has finally passed a funding bill! The bill includes a small increase for cancer research and prevention programs.
