France's parliament approved a draft law Friday banning advertising for artificial tanning beds and salons, and prohibiting people under 18 from using to the popular yet potentially dangerous ultraviolet technology. The bill also introduces requirements that tanning salon staff receive proper training on the health risks of UV ray exposure. Socialist legislator and former skin cancer specialist Michele Delaunay said tanning-induced melanoma is the second-fastest-growing form of cancer, after lung cancer among women. There are some 10,700 tanning salons in France, and 40,000 sunbeds.
