Reading Michael Vilaythong’s commentary, I must say I completely agree with him and the House. Legislation had to be passed to keep tanners under the age of 16 from indoor tanning, proof of the ridiculous levels of superficiality Texans have reached. Shouldn’t 16 year olds stress over their first loves or obtaining driver’s licenses rather than adding color to their acne-infested faces? Though it seems a bit silly to ask teens for parental permission or doctor’s notes in order to gain access to a tanning bed, maybe it will reduce young teen visitation. Because the younger teens begin at the tanning beds, the threat of skin cancer increases. Decreasing the amount of tanning sessions will decrease the chances of getting skin cancer.
Just as Michael said, the arguments against this should not be merited at all. Protecting the overall health of Texans is being attempted, if the teenage paleness is the price, oh well! I’m naturally tan and twenty, so I really don’t care!
