Sanbles are so dangerous that they should be prohibited in the UK, experts and participants in the campaign say.
They called on ministers to order the closure of thousands of bombing salons working throughout Britain, using state funds to compensate the owners, if necessary.
Commercial solar legs play such a harmful role in choosing skin cancer, and the ban on their use up to 18 years is so reset so that the frank ban is justified, they affirm in the British medical journal (BMJ).
“A direct ban on commercial solar legs, along with state education, offers the most economically effective solution to reduce skin cancer, save life and relieve burden on NHS,” they say.
The call came from experts in Christie's hospital in Manchester, including Professor Paul Lorigan, participants in the British charity organization Melanoma Focus And a leather cancer specialist in Australia, whose works helped to convince his government to ban the sunny sun in 2016.
There is a tan experiences a boom of popularityEspecially among generations Z, with SunBeds even rises – to the horror of doctors – as an important element of well -being.
International Cancer Research Agency (IARC), World Agency Health Organization (WHO), announced in 2009 that the effects of ultraviolet radiation from solar legs is carcinogenic for people, because it causes melanoma and other forms of skin cancer.
Melanoma is Fifth of the most common cancer In the UK, with 17,600 new diagnoses and 2700 deaths a year. The level of the disease has increased and, according to forecasts, will increase by 2040, associated with people vacationing in solar countries.
The IARC view and the British Committee on Medical Aspects of Radiation in the Environment (Comare) forced the government to ban the use of sun legs for up to 18 years in England and Wales.
Nevertheless, the regulation of the solarium failed, because a significant minority of 16- and 17-year-olds still use them, co-authors of the article wrote opinions in BMJ.
World Cancer The research fund (WCRF) supported the closing of tanning. According to co -authors, it will cost from 11 to 55 million pounds. Last year in England there were about 4231 salons and 232 in Wales. The number in Scotland and Northern Ireland was unknown.
“This is a well -known fact that sunny norms increase the risk of skin cancer, and there are safer alternatives, such as a fake tan. That is why the phased solar legs will help reduce the risk of cancer and support people to live longer and a healthier life. ” said Kate Oldridge Termer, head of politics and public relations WCRF.
But while Rack Research UK warned people not to use Sunbids, it does not support the call.
“Despite the fact that people could hear on social networks, there is no such thing as a safe tan, using solar legs. It is illegal to allow anyone under the age of 18 to use Sunbids, and it is vital for this to be properly observed, ”said Fiona Osgun, her head of medical information.
“Some people are more at risk of skin cancer than others, including with lighter shades of skin, many freckles or moles or light burning.
“But everyone who uses solar legs increases the risk of cancer. Almost nine in 10 cases, melanomas are caused by the influence of too large ultraviolet from the sun and sunny snowy sample.
“If you want to look tanned, it is much safer to get a spray -hazard or use a fake tan of a bottle.”
The government urged people not to use Sunbids and stated that he was considering further steps to combat the harm caused by them.
“Commercial sunlight is significantly increasing the risk of melanoma and other types of skin cancer from ultraviolet radiation. It is strongly recommended not to use them at all, ”said the representative of the government.
“Anyone who considers the possibility of using a sunny box must understand serious health risks. We look at evidence and consider the following steps. ”
