Cancer experts say sunbeds are so dangerous they should be banned in UK
The Guardian
|October 02, 2025
Sunbeds are so dangerous that they should be banned in the UK, cancer experts and skin cancer campaigners say.
They are urging ministers to order the closure of the thousands of tanning salons, and if necessary use public funds to compensate owners because sunbeds pose such risk.
Commercial sunbeds play such a damaging role in causing skin cancer, and a ban on under-18s using them is so widely flouted, that an outright ban is justified, they argue in the BMJ.
"An immediate outright ban on commercial sunbeds alongside public education offers the most cost-effective solution to reduce skin cancer, save lives and ease the burden on the NHS," they say.
