Another fact about tanning that is seldom examined is finding that incidence of melanoma is much lower in countries with sunshine and scientific research has not been able to disprove this fact. It is only a handful of doctors and lobbyists of the anti tanning groups who have linked the twin facts and come up with a theory. After all, skin cancer is more prevalent in northerly latitudes where the exposure to the sun for the population is much less than in the tropical and equatorial regions.
All this brouhaha about tanning has given rise to an unusual and unnatural fear of the sun, among the population. This is a cleverly propelled myth by the multi million dollar pharmaceutical companies who wish to sell their sun screen and other sun protective lotions to women who are keen to look and feel good without risking their health to tanning and running the risk of cancer or related problems. The industry that is supplying tanning equipment is the only one of the kind that is propagating the safe ways of tanning and this single player in a giant propelled market is a loser right from the start. The voice of the factual users of tanning appliances is thus never heard by the majority.
The fact that tanning can be a safe way of looking good and feeling fit thus needs to be implemented and put in the right perspective. The skin cancer cause is not as simple as it looks and the public need to be informed about the right facts. Skin cancer is a complicated issue. On the other hand the fact that moderate tanning can avoid all the ill effects of sunburn and exposure to UV rays, the tanning activity can be enjoyed without having the risk of cancer. The tanning salons therefore have to adopt a vigorous campaign to educate the public about the correct facts regarding tanning and its effects, both long term and short term.
