Tanning Beds: Not That I Really Care

I came to this odd story this AM....where a guy had bought into a tanning bed operation, and in the change-over....came to realize that there were age restrictions in the state.

So I asked Grok/AI to study this....forty-four states (with DC) have a age 18 restriction on indoor tanning beds (also known as sunbeds or solariums).

Chief reason?  To protect minors from increased skin cancer risks. 

The six states without restrictions? Alaska, Colorado, Connecticut, Iowa, Montana, and New Mexico.

So after pondering this....I came to this remarkable reality....oddly, no state has a restriction on 10-year or 12-year old kid....being out-of-doors 16 hours a day in the summer.

You could aim to get 1,000 times the amount of sunlight that you should limit yourself.
