Taxing your tan. It will cost you more to go under the lights, but doctors say it will save lives. And super star for sale. This NBA legend could be worth billions to whatever city he chooses. But where? From CBS News world headquarters in New York, this is the CBS Evening News. Starting tomorrow, there will be a new tax in the land. 10% on sales at indoor tanning salons. It was an idea to help pay for health care reform and it’s expected to rake in $2.7 billion over 10 years. Here’s Michelle Miller.
Gisselle Colon wanted to be bronze and beautiful. She sunbathed and bought a membership to a tanning salon several years ago. Last month, things turned ugly. This is her scar. In May, Gisselle was diagnosed with melanoma흑색종, one of the deadliest and most preventable forms of cancer. An estimated 30 million Americans use tanning beds every year. 2.3 million are teenagers. It costs about $17 a visit. The 10% tax will raise that price by $1.70.
It’s unclear whether that will be enough to discourage indoor tanners. What is clear: new research finds indoor tanning before the age of 35 increases the risk of melanoma by 75%. Dermatologist피부과전문의 Dr. Ellen Marmur says both UVA and UVB cause cancer, and she's diagnosing more young women who started using tanning beds as teens. "If you get in your 20s or early 30s, your chances of getting melanoma within the next 10 years are actually much higher. That's a very scary way to live your youth to be constantly worried about lethal skin cancer."
“No mother should have to visit their daughter in a cemetery.” New public service announcements take aim at teen tanning, so too are lawmakers. 32 states now restrict it, for example, by requiring parental permission in person. And New York State is considering banning indoor tanning outright for anyone under 18. “What would you say to women going to these tanning salons?” "Stop. Stop immediately." The industry argues tanning is safe in moderation적당한. But doctors say fake tanners are the only safe choices for people without the risk. Michelle Miller, CBS News, New York.
