Ban Tanning Beds for People Younger than 18

Melanoma has been on the rise. Younger people are getting Melanoma every year, and the UV rays from tanning beds are very harmful to the skin at younger ages. I had IIIb Melanoma when I was 9 years old, and had two surgeries and a year of treatments.

I do not want anybody to go through the troubles I had to go through, especially at that young of an age. Although I never went to any tanning beds, I know many people that have acquired Melanoma from using Tanning beds at younger ages. Please protect the next generation from getting this deadly cancer. Thank you.
