where are all our rights going? we were all born with free will. we live (or suposedly) in a democratic nation. it’s all beginning to deteriorate. and what about the chemicals in all the perfumes, colonges, deoderants, air freshners, and the hormones added to food anymore. are people in power that ego minded. no one has responsibility for me but me. kids are the responsibility of their parents. we have choices, i will keep my right to make my own choices.

Will we also demand that teens not be able to go outside in the daylight hours? At least exposure in tanning salons is controled. There should be more emphasis on regulating the knoweledge of tanning salon owners/operators so that they can recommend the proper exposure times and schedules for their clientel.

Otherwise, let’s close all beaches, parks and backyards where children under 18 may be trying to illeagally grab a little sunlight!

Dr. Woodall argues that this is just like tabacco and alcohol. The State of Ohio controls the alcohol and tabacco laws, not the city of Hamilton. Just as they already do in Tanning. The state regularly updates its Tanning laws too, something Hamilton has not done for ove 15 years. Suddenly they are experts?????

I agree and disagree with everything said in this article. Of course there’s a risk in tanning of any kind. Indoor or outdoor,but let us make that decision,not have someone make it for us. These are our children,not the City of Hamilton’s. I agree there are going to be some parent’s that let their children overdue it. As far as the doctors wanting kids to have prescriptions,of course they do. That is an office visit to be paid for once a month or so also. Money in their pockets.
