Government advisers are urging ministers to consider a "total ban" on commercial sunbeds, citing concerns over their increasing popularity among young people and operators making "false and unsubstantiated claims of health benefits".
A new report from the Committee on Medical Aspects of Radiation in the Environment (Comare), which advises the government on the health effects of radiation, reveals that sunbed use has "not been much reduced, despite the introduction of laws to control use". The committee also highlighted "suggestions that young people are increasingly using them."
