Fake Bake Law

Tanning beds have been a controversial issue that many Americans, both men and women, have struggled with. Some dermatologists say that the tanning beds can be useful, while others say that they are hazardous and we should avoid them at all costs.

Illinois just tried to pass a law that at age 16 even with parental consent you won’t be allowed to go to tanning beds, but it was shot down rather quickly. Our government decided that we already have enough laws barring things we do and that this law would just add onto a list. They ruled that with parental consent, tanning beds should be accessible for teenagers. Hopefully this issue will die down and not come up again. Does the government truly feel the need to regulate everything we do?
