I really wish the government would stay out of people's lives, this is just another example of the government trying to tell us what we can and cannot do with our own bodies. I think the tanning salons should post disclaimers about the dangers of tanning beds, and if the people still want to use them after having this warning then that is their choice.

5/21/2012 9:13 AM

Indoor tanning increases exposure to UV rays that are proven to increase cancer risks. If people are going to make poor choices, at the very least, they should be fully accountable adults. We should not have 13 or 14 year old kids making these kinds of choices. The only people who will benefit from allowing adolescents to freely use tanning salons are tanning salon owners. We should not be aiding and abetting the sale of dangerous products and services to minors for profit!

5/21/2012 8:46 AM

No, it's my choice.

5/21/2012 8:08 AM

I don't feel it's up to the State to have to reach into a place where common sense should just kick in. Salon owners and parents need to exercise common sense and recognize the fact that children don't belong in tanning salons, period. New York State has more pressing matters to act upon. Whatever happenened to good old-fashioned common sense? Bring it back and start using it.

5/21/2012 8:00 AM

recommend not legislate

5/21/2012 7:26 AM

CAN NOT SEE MAKING 50 MILLION NEW LAWS TO ACCOMPANY THE 100 MILLION WE ALREADY HAVE. AND YOU FOOLS WANT FREEDOM? REALLY?

5/20/2012 8:28 PM

but what good will it do? you can always go outside....DUH!

5/20/2012 7:37 PM

I think the government is so entrenched into the daily lives of everyone that basic freedoms have been lost and by the time the young kids get older they won't even know of the freedoms they have lost. How about take care of what is already broke, stop making new regulations that can't be enforced. If it is an issue for a person under 18 being subjected to excessive tanning you can already charge someone with endangering why do we need more rules and regulation. Enough with government thinking they should have a pc in everything we do. Less government and more common sense. Enough with the handouts, about time people actually work for what they get.

5/20/2012 6:38 PM

I agree that parents need to help their children stay safe at any age but it seems there is a new law against everything we do. A little like Hitler is back more everyday. Let us make our own decisions, not the state. I think there is more to worry about in this state than teens tanning.

5/20/2012 12:36 AM

Had numerous kinds of skin cancer for years because of sunburns & industry so anyone using a tanning salon look out in a ew years.

5/19/2012 8:24 PM

People have to accept responsibility for their own actions. In the case of a minor, the parents must accept responsibility. Passing a law accomplishes nothing.

5/19/2012 5:59 PM

What I don't support is the government telling everyone what they can or can't do. Every time you turn around the government is taking a little more away from us. Pretty soon we will not have a say in anything because legislation was passed.

5/19/2012 5:43 PM

Because, when we are young we assume only bad things will happen to others. Thus we are obligated to protect out youth.

5/19/2012 1:01 PM

I am sick and tired of people who think they know best telling me what I can and cannot do...there is no end to the Big Brother attitude if you let it take hold. This is just the latest in too many topics when the real damage to us is being done in underhanded ways such as chemicals and hormones in our food. What's the next step - outlawing all sun exposure? Then they want you to get your vitamin D from a pill you buy from them.

5/19/2012 12:47 AM

Please regulate every aspect of my life because I am a senseless idiot. Thank you all of you groups like the American Cancer Society and our wonderful local, state and federal law makers for making it so that I don't have to make any kind of decision for myself. Soon, I will be able to give my entire paycheck to the government and have everything I do, say, eat, drink, smoke, and think completely controlled by nameless and faceless bureaucrats. I look forward to that day. I hope to God (can I still say God?) that we don't have any kind of civil insurrection that sends the high minded philosopher kings and queens of Canton, Albany and Washington DC packing.

5/19/2012 10:52 AM

I don't think anyone should tan. People need to get off their computer, stop watching so much TV and get outside. Much healthier to tan naturally then with artificial light. Your body will thank you in future years.

5/19/2012 9:23 AM

Don't ban anyone from using those cancer machines, ban the tanning beds!

5/19/2012 9:14 AM

Has anti-smoking laws and age restrictions kept kids from smoking or chewing? Just look at it from Darwin's point of view - if you're stupid enough to tan your hide until it's crispy and you get cancer... it's your own fault. Don't waste taxpayers' money trying to enforce something that should be common sense.

5/19/2012 8:27 AM

The decision must be between the person and their parents, not government.

5/19/2012 1:38 AM

I personally think they should be outlawed. They are more dangerous than lying in the sun. Think about it, you lie in the sun or on a tanning bed to burn your skin enough so that it turns another color...YUCK!

5/18/2012 9:09 PM

Get a life......how are you going to keep them out of the sun!!!!!!!!!!!!

5/18/2012 9:02 PM

Tanning beds should not exist!

5/18/2012 4:09 PM

These kids do not understand, (or adults for that matter) what these places are doing to their skin. Yes, the sun also causes cancer but only if you stay in it for extreme long times. What the good and great Lord has made will not harm us if we use the information given to us.

5/18/2012 3:36 PM

why is it that people can not think for themselves?

5/18/2012 1:38 PM

Pretty soon we won't have to think for ourselves, the gov't will make all our decisions for us.

5/18/2012 11:00 AM

This is a parental responsibility. A law banning it would only make the tanning beds more popular among teenagers. Is the State really going to have Enforcers making surprise visits to all the tanning spots in New York?

5/18/2012 10:12 AM

Is this proposed ban actually based on peer-reviewed scientific study, or is this more Correct Thinking?

5/18/2012 10:06 AM

It's the parents’ job not the governments

5/18/2012 8:18 AM

Ridiculous.

5/18/2012 8:11 AM

Actually I don't think they should be allowed at all they are not good for you worse then the sun.

5/18/2012 7:08 AM

if parents are required to sign off on the use for kids under 18, then why do we need legislation..???? more government control.. ???

5/18/2012 7:05 AM

Just what we need another feel good nanny law to satisfy some special interests. Let parents raise, take care of and decide what's right for their kids. The government is already too invasive in our personal lives.

5/18/2012 6:42 AM

What the heck happened to the old days when PEOPLE made the decisions? That's the problem these days, too many politicians creating rules controlling everyone. Use common sense. Heck my ancestors lived to be 100 plus. It's time for government to quit finding excuses to save their jobs and causing cost of living to go up along with taxes and close a lot of government departments and lower taxes. Leave THE PEOPLE RAISE THEIR CHILDREN, LEAVE THE TEACHERS DO THE TEACHING, "half the idiots in Albany are nothing but a bunch of book reading morons whom if put in a real life situation wouldn't know what the heck to do. 3/4 or more of the politicians couldn't find their way out of a wet brown paper bag!

5/17/2012 9:23 PM

Have you ever seen anyone with skin cancer? Cannot see anyone paying for it!

5/17/2012 9:05 PM

My father-in-law died from Melanoma. If this prevents young people from getting this horrible type of cancer I'm all for it.

5/17/2012 9:01 PM

Does it make sense to allow some individuals to make money by enabling easily conned others to expose their bodies to ultra violet radiation that will initiate cancerous growths in some percentage of these patrons? Additionally some percentage of those who contract cancer will not have health insurance so the burden of the cost of caring for them will fall upon the taxpayers. How about the whole industry be shut down. Not much chance of that when one can observe corporation after corporation such as cigarette manufacturing corporations cheerful peddling their poison.

5/17/2012 7:13 PM

I don't see any reason a CHILD should be in a tanning booth. Until they are 18, decisions for their wellbeing are the responsibility of the parent. Why on earth would a parent choose to put their child at risk for a potentially deadly disease?!

5/17/2012 3:22 PM

Government does need to be involved in this case. For every new law there is the need for someone to enforce it which can cause an increase in our taxes. People need to take responsibility for themselves.

5/17/2012 11:29 AM

Too many laws now. Leave the government out of our lives...and resolve the budgets and the infrastructure and the roads and the employment problems. All this law would do is hire 'tanning cops'. Surely there are other concerns besides tanning beds. What's next- no one allowed in the sun under the age of eighteen?

5/17/2012 10:25 AM

It's a parenting and industry standards issue. The government needs to stay out of people's lives and stop the social micromanaging.

5/16/2012 10:25 PM

If a parent gives permission, then what is the issue?

5/16/2012 9:49 PM

At an age under 18, people have no idea of what they are doing to their bodies. They are not mature enough to understand/ accept the consequences. Most people above age 18 understand what cancer is, and can make an informed decision.

5/16/2012 8:33 PM

leave people alone

5/16/2012 8:32 PM

Nanny state. Does anybody think.

5/16/2012 6:28 PM

It is proven the rays from this cause skin cancer. Why take the chance. And where were the 53% voting NO on school board budgets?

5/16/2012 5:56 PM

The state has involved itself in too many I KNOW BETTER THAN YOU ISSUES.

5/16/2012 5:41 PM

May under 16...I tan but it's a choice that I make as an adult and are aware of the risks.

5/16/2012 5:39 PM

Freedom of choice, stop giving your rights away to the government.

5/16/2012 12:41 AM

I'm sick and tired of new laws that are nobody’s business. sick of these nanny laws let people decide for themselves .

5/16/2012 12:21 AM

Yes I do.

5/16/2012 11:16 AM

free skin cancer with a tan! what else could you ask for? besides paying for it!

5/16/2012 10:22 AM

The state's regulatory climate is too coercive as it is. No more nanny-state laws.

5/16/2012 9:49 AM

I don't know if getting burnt by the sun is any worse than using a tanning bed?? I personally like to go a few times just so I don't get burnt when summer begins or if I am going on vacation and haven't been exposed to the sun in months.. as far as kids under 18??? parents need to be responsible. I would rather have my child get a little tan rather than get burnt by the sun. It seems like that would be better for you? It's the people that don't know when to stop that I think are endangering their lives. Use some common sense.

5/16/2012 9:24 AM

IF IT IS NOT YOUR BODY MIND YOUR DAM BUSINESS.

5/16/2012 9:12 AM

Don't we have enough laws to try to protect us from ourselves? The information is out there, let individuals decide, and those under 18, do so with parental consent. We make laws against stupidity, so the consistanly stupid can make a lawyer rich by sueing someone who is just doing a job. Hello, Darwin?

5/16/2012 8:03 AM

It should require adult/parental verifiable approval.

5/16/2012 7:49 AM

Let me ask this.Is a tanning salon worse than buying spray can tans that put chemicals on your body and in the atmosphere?

5/16/2012 7:38 AM

As far as I am concerned, until a cure for cancer can be found, any and all known cancer causing substances or devices should be illegal to minors.

5/16/2012 7:30 AM

Let parents do there job , dont need the goverment telling us what to do,,,,,

5/16/2012 7:24 AM

Our Nation is saturated by laws taking away our freedom of choice." Parental Rights" are obscured by unnecesary laws and if broken exorbitant court fees, business fines and increased law enforccement. This would be padding N.Y.'s coffers and taking away more personal liberties.

5/16/2012 6:54 AM

If you ban them from a tanning booth, you’d have to ban them from going to the beach, park, from leaving their house when the sun is out. It’s their choice not governments. STOP infringing on peoples rights!

5/16/2012 6:44 AM

Stay out of peoples Personal Business. It's there choice they are not 12 years old. They are Adults and should be treated as such. This state has enough problems without this. What are we going to tell people they cant do next. Stay out of people's personal affairs.

5/15/2012 11:24 PM

Tanning booths are unhealthy for everyone. Protect minors at the least.

5/15/2012 10:02 PM

I'd rather see laws to keep the smokers away from doors to public places, stores especially.

5/15/2012 9:08 PM

The State of New York needs to stop wasting tax dollars on stupid stuff like this when they can be solving the problems we already have. There is no need to create more problems.

5/15/2012 8:42 PM

No more regulations, leave us alone. The govt is out of control. Let people do what they want. The stupid ones will die early and the smart ones will live long and prosper. Let the parents decide what is best for their children under 18. I do agree tanning salons are stupid, but it is a personal choice for the parents and child.

5/15/2012 6:42 PM

My God, we've got enough government "protection" or ourselves mandated by the gvvt!! Caveat emptor and all that! A kid one day before more, hiring more people to enforce it, from the licenses down to checking on the users? Uh, that's plain stupidity of the part of our gvt. Besides, if they're (anyone) burned once, they WILL remember it the next time! Burns are much more likely than health issues.

5/15/2012 5:34 PM

16 is an appropriate cutoff

5/15/2012 5:11 PM

In this part of the country, tanning salons could be used reasonably to combat the rampant Vitamin D deficiency.

5/15/2012 4:34 PM

We have enough laws. We don't need every aspect of our lives governed.

5/15/2012 4:28 PM

We have enough laws. We don't need every aspect of our lives governed.

5/15/2012 4:27 PM

I feel that everyone by now should know the dangers of using tanning beds.

5/15/2012 4:05 PM

If we outlaw Tanning Beds, they will just continue using the "natural" Tanning Bed. Both cause the same harm. Banning one option will not serve any purpose. The best we can do is to educate them more about the harm it really causes, As with any "cancer risk".

5/15/2012 3:39 PM

Spray tanning is safer

5/15/2012 2:36 PM

Unless it's a spray tan I don't think anyone under 18 should be allowed to use it!

5/15/2012 2:36 PM

I think tanning salons should be banned. They serve no useful purpose!

5/15/2012 1:01 PM

Not just dangerous...also just plain ridiculous.

5/15/2012 1:01 PM

People know that the sun gives off damaging rays. Young people are actually probably more aware of this than people were in the past. If they don't tan themselves, they will sun themselves. There is only so much that can be regulated.

5/15/2012 12:30 AM

I support banning anyone at any age from using tanning beds.

5/15/2012 12:02 AM

skin cancer is no joke. we should try and protect our young people in the same way as we try to protect them from cancer by smoking.

5/15/2012 12:01 AM

If tanning beds are a known, factual danger and contributor to skin cancer, everyone should be banned from having and offering a tanning salon and services. Since that won't happen (i.e. cigarettes still legal to buy), than banning those under the age of 18 is necessary.

5/15/2012 12:00 AM

If under the age of 18 they shouldn't be able to go in by themselves. But if they have a parent or guardian with them they should be able to. Some people go tanning so they have a tan for vacation. This prevents the initial "burn". Why can't children be entitled to that as well.

5/15/2012 11:46 AM

No one should be using tanning salons!

5/15/2012 11:33 AM

Quite honesty, everyone should be banned from using tanning salons.

5/15/2012 10:38 AM

YES!!!! YES!!!! YES!!!! MOST DEFINITELY YESS!!!!!!!!

5/15/2012 10:22 AM

It is medically proven that the wavelength of the tanning lights cause cancer cells.

5/15/2012 9:57 AM

yes I do believe they start way to young these days !!

5/15/2012 9:51 AM

Sometimes a few minutes at a tanning salon are prescribed for skin conditions, as opposed to driving long distances several times a week to an MD's office.

5/15/2012 9:29 AM

I think they should be at least 16 years of age to tan.....nothing younger

5/15/2012 9:07 AM

Yes, the so-called "beauty" standards in this country are the results of mass media marketing. Brainwashing young people for corporate profit is the order of the day; the only way to counteract that is through legislation. Skin cancer, like smoking, is a lifestyle choice, in many instances. The down the road health impacts are the results of poor choices, made by the very young long, before they are able to understand consequences.

5/15/2012 8:47 AM

NO NEW LAWS restricting our 'movements'. What might be interesting is a insurance regulation that if you used a tanning service and contracted a problem such as cancer then it's up to you to pay for your treatments in light of existing knowledge re the tanning process.

5/15/2012 8:26 AM

Tanning booths should be OUTLAWED. They are a definite health problem.

5/15/2012 8:21 AM

maybe our govt should focus on the task they were elected to do and stay out of our personal choices . Our politicians have real issues to think about like being fiscally responsible !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5/15/2012 7:49 AM

we have enough dumb ass laws on the books now, welcome to the great police state of ny

5/15/2012 7:28 AM

What if it were needed for a skin condition? Would that be banned also?

5/15/2012 7:08 AM

They have proven they are like 50 times worse than exposure to the sun, yet everybody still willingly climbs into them! Why don't we bring back "Lawn Darts" for kids to play with? Marijuana does less damage to you than tanning booths! And everyone wonders why our health care system costs so much! Stuff they have proven is bad for us, they keep marketing and selling because of the almighty profit!!?? Wake up!!!

5/15/2012 6:59 AM

This absolutely HAS to be a joke.

5/15/2012 6:25 AM

How old are you? There should be a law that whoever comes up with these ridiculous survey questions has to publish their age and name. Our state and country are in horrific financial condition, the most important election in modern history that will shape the future for all of us is taking place and you want to talk about tanning booths?????

5/15/2012 4:59 AM

They should be outlawed all together.

5/15/2012 12:18 AM

Yes just think then the police can go around with under age kids posing as adults...And charge employees with serving a minor a TAN! Just think of the $$$ in fines and overtime for investigations. Why you would have to have those "WE CARD FOR A TAN" signs. Oh and new state mandated computer systems for verification of date of birth. Skin cancer commercials during TV programming. Why don’t we just open NY STATE run stores where you can SCRATCH OFF, QUICK DRAW, GAMBLE, DRINK, BY SMOKES, AND NOW TAN? They can call the chain EZ PASS! You can use your ENHANCED DRIVERS LICENCE for proof of age. We don’t need another damn law we need adult supervision. Besides my Childs melanoma is covered by me until age 26 anyway "thanx universal healthcare". So should the age potential TANNER be 26. No that would make too much sense "a law is what we need". If the American Cancer Society and our Govt was that worried about our health they would make Tanning and Tobacco use against the law. Or as a father I make it against the law under my roof! See how easy that was. But then again no $$$ was made off my decision

5/14/2012 11:05 PM

Hey, if they can legally kill their unborn baby, let'm get tanned.

5/14/2012 10:08 PM

yes, down the road we the taxpayer will have to pay for their stupidity

5/14/2012 10:04 PM

Isn’t there more important things to worry about ?

5/14/2012 9:30 PM

It has been proven over and over again that tanning in salon's is worse than being in the sun due to the ultra concentrated doses of UV rays. Plus, and does anyone care about this as teenagers, it ages a person's skin so fast. At least protect the children until they are adults and can legally destroy themselves.

5/14/2012 8:43 PM

Anther attack on private business and another step towards Government takeover of everything!

5/14/2012 8:37 PM

I agree 100%, teenagers aren’t likely to consider the risks of using a tanning bed.

5/14/2012 8:11 PM

Just another law that we don't need, if they want to do it let them, it their life not the states.

5/14/2012 7:05 PM

We have enough laws....what's next " don't go out when the sun is shining"?

5/14/2012 6:56 PM

I feel like if they are going to tan, you may as well hand them cigarettes.

5/14/2012 6:35 PM

They are so dangerous, common sense should keep everyone from using them!

5/14/2012 6:25 PM

tanning beds are proven harmful. they should not be used by minors. we can't regulate how much someone goes out in the sun, but we should regulate tanning beds.

5/14/2012 6:13 PM

ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5/14/2012 5:33 PM

I vote no even though I do not think it is wise for anyone to use these tanning beds. It is just another law that takes rights away from the people. This one passes then they will try to pass a law to stop everyone. Not that I care or agree with the tanning beds, but let them fry themselves if they want! Too many rights and freedoms being taken away in the name of "for the good of the people."

5/14/2012 5:21 PM

Good grief! Pretty soon, they'll be telling us what brand of underwear we must wear! Stay the hell away from what little freedoms we have left. My 17 can go to war he sure as hell can sit in a tanning booth if he chooses!

5/14/2012 4:49 PM

I thought they'd have something worth worrying about. I see that is not the case, again. There's going to be a lot of un-tanned Miss New York States if it passes.

5/14/2012 4:40 PM

There should be an age limit for children

5/14/2012 4:16 PM

Come on, get real. Enough laws already. If someone wants a tan, let them tan. Besides, tanning is actually good for you if done sensibly.

5/14/2012 4:01 PM

i a against a lot of laws of the nanny state

5/14/2012 3:55 PM

If you wanted to invent a perfect "skin Cancer Machine" it would be a tanning booth. They should be outlawed completely!

5/14/2012 3:30 PM

Teenagers think they are indestructible and don't think ahead to the future - they only think of here and now, no matter of the education available on the subject of tanning and skin cancer....they think that it "won't happen to me!" I think they should ban anyone under the age of 21.

5/14/2012 3:03 PM

No - Why make yet another law you can't enforce? I see kids under 18 all around getting tattoos and drinking alcohol. I see adults all around texting/talking on cell phones while driving. I see illegal immigrants working on local farms. Maybe when you can enforce the laws on the books, you can think about a new one.

5/14/2012 2:45 PM

I think tanning booths should be like buying cigarettes & alcohol, you have to be 21 or older to do it legally.

5/14/2012 2:44 PM

Tanning salons rank pretty high the list of "Stupid Way To Spend Your Money"

5/14/2012 2:43 PM

Who cares...there are too many laws now....use the sun...cheaper and safer.

5/14/2012 2:33 PM

New York State: STOP TELLING US WHAT WE CAN OR CANNOT DO!

5/14/2012 2:15 PM

It's their body, as long as they know the risks, let them do what they want. Is this Russia??

5/14/2012 2:05 PM

ENOUGH LEGISLATION - soon we'll need a permit to breathe!

5/14/2012 2:00 PM

TOO MUCH GOVERNMENT.....

5/14/2012 1:57 PM

The government needs to stay out of people's business. I certainly don't need the government holding my hand. Why leave it to the government to teach people about common sense. It's easy. Tanning beds are dangerous and people who are running these salons should enforce their own rules about children not tanning. Signs should be put up as warnings. Just because there were a couple people in the news, now they all of a sudden want to make some law about it and take more of your freedoms away. Give me a break.

5/14/2012 1:23 PM

make it 16 and under

5/14/2012 12:43 AM

The state has a hard time managing it's own affairs Leave my family choices to myself.

5/14/2012 12:35 AM

absolutely...I think they should ban tanning beds all together....

5/14/2012 12:35 AM

Let's pause for a minute and pretend like WE DON'T NEED THE GOVERNMENT TO TELL US WHAT TO DO OR HOW TO LIVE.

5/14/2012 12:17 AM

Even at 18 years old, most don't really realize what they are doing to themselves.

5/14/2012 12:15 AM

Burns in your younger years contribute significantly towards skin cancer risk. Also, at 18, if you want to take the risk, you are an adult who can legally make consent.

5/14/2012 12:08 AM

I'd like to see all tanning salons taxed into extinction. They are dangerous and people who use them are very foolish. In more "greener" times of my youth, if you wanted a tan you went outside and cut the bloody lawn....tan and exercise in one fell swoop. Oh, and the mower was human powered not gas powered!

5/14/2012 12:05 AM

YES......As a skin cancer sufferer I know first hand the effects. Kids (especially teenage girls) don't pay attention to warnings. The statistics show the elevated risk for skin cancer. Try the spray tan if you want ....but stay away from tanning. Sunscreen is a must when outside. Take it from someone who gets treatment regularly as a result from tanning.

Why doesn't the government work on something they can control, like GMO's in all of our food? If the government cared about us and wanted to prevent us from getting cancer, then why not stop contaminating our food and make it affordable to buy food that Monsanto hasn't altered with it's Round-Up? Oh, wait, it is probably impossible to purchase food or even grow food that hasn't been genetically altered. Contamination is beyond the government's control.

Absolutely! Tanning beds are very dangerous and I don't think they should be used by anyone, let alone anyone under 18. If people could only see what happens when someone gets melanoma, they would certainly never use them again!!!

With skin cancer on the rise, I think it is a wonderful idea!!! I also hate the idea of tanning booths in general. I feel like this: WHY would people under the age of 18 be THAT concerned with how they look that they would risk cancer? WHY do young people find it attractive to be darker in color? WHY does it matter the color of your skin? Tanning is just another thing youngsters do to feel pretty. Well, they need to learn to be pretty in their OWN skin that god gave them before they go changing it, especially the color. Looks are competitive these days, and it’s sad! Beautiful people of the world can't even come together anymore, because they are too worried about looking BETTER than the next one. SAD SAD world these days.

Tanning salons should be banned for everyone!

I do think that since people are considered "adults" at 18, they should be able to choose whether or not to use a tanning booth, but they should also be aware of the danger of skin cancer and make an informed decision.
