The American Academy of Pediatrics wants teens banned from tanning salons to reduce their risk of skin cancer. 30-states already regulate indoor tanning by minors, with some states requiring parental consent for children under 14. Illinois and New York are among states considering bills barring anyone under 18 from indoor tanning. KCCI reports about 8,700 people died of melanoma last year and about 68,130 new melanomas were diagnosed. Evidence links indoor tanning with increased risk.
