France's parliament approved a draft law Friday banning advertising for artificial tanning beds and salons, and prohibiting people under 18 from using the popular yet potentially dangerous ultraviolet technology. "Our fellow citizens don't know the risks they're taking... We are worried about the home use of these machines," said Health Minister Marisol Touraine. 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.
