    Yepp!! To get a tan, all you need to do is just go outside and lay out in the sun for about an hour!!

  • 2 decades ago

    Yes, because you are actually putting yourself at risk of getting skin cancer, and you're paying someone money for that risk! The long term effects aren't known because most skin cancers start showing up when you're at an advanced age, and are caused by exposure when you are young.

    In my area you pay about $35.00 for 10 tanning sessions.

    I can go out and lay in the sun for free.

    I just don't get it.

    Not at all stupid. When I can afford to go I am there at least 5 times a week. Just havent had the money here lately but plan on starting back soon.

    i think way to many people over do it. i like going once in awhile, when somehting important is coming up. tanning beds amke yourself feel good to..just like anything you have to be careful when using them...but the same people that say they are stupid and you should not go are the ones that smoke and do other things to hurt themselves, for the most part
