What the petition asks
Ban sunbeds outright due to the high risk of health risks and the cost that skin cancers and related health complications cost the NHS in which sunbeds are a major contributor.
There has been many previous calls for this. Many young people are attempting to seek a beauty standard which is costing people their lives through cancer in which sunbeds are a large contributor playing into that fact.
