Rethink Your Drinking! Check out this collaboration by 9 health units in southwestern Ontario - Chatham-Kent, Elgin-St. Thomas, Grey Bruce, Huron, Lambton, Middlesex-London, Oxford, Perth, Windsor-Essex.
The new Ontario government is taking action to help prevent skin
cancer among young people by proposing legislation to ban those under 18
from using tanning beds.
The legislation, to be introduced later today, would, if passed:
Prohibit the sale of tanning services to youth under 18
Require tanning bed operators to request identification from anyone who appears under 25
Ban advertising and marketing of tanning services targeted at youth under 18
Require tanning bed operators to post signs about the ban and the health risks associated with the use of tanning beds
Set fines for tanning bed operators who fail to comply with the legislation
Authorize inspectors to inspect and enforce these requirements
