Tanning is Addictive

Recent evidence has found that tanning lights up the same areas of the brain that are active when we have other kinds of addiction, such as substance abuse.

This is a good reason to avoid getting in a tanning bed to begin with!

Sadly as the article describes people may have adverse consequences such as having a cancerous lesion removed and go back to tanning beds.
