Ireland's Tánaiste, Micheál Martin, supports a sunbed ban due to cancer links and rise in youth usage.
Ireland's Tánaiste, Micheál Martin, supports a ban on sunbeds, citing strong links to cancer and a rise in usage, particularly among younger populations. Consultant Dermatologist Professor Caitriona Ryan warns that sunbeds are 15-times stronger than midday sun in UV radiation, and using them before age 35 increases melanoma risk by 75%. He likens a sunbed ban to the successful smoking ban in 2004.
