  1. Tanning Beds: harmful or helpful? Persuasive Speech Why I believe tanning beds are a poor health choice.

  2. Sure, it may be appealing to be tan, but…. • Tanning beds can cause skin cancer. • They make you look good for a little while, but in the end give you wrinkles. • They are too expensive.

  3. Tanning beds cause skin cancer • According to the NY times, tanning beds are as deadly as smoking! • If you use tanning beds before the age of 30, your risk jumps over 75% • People are already at about a 20% risk just from normal activity in the sunlight. • 75+ 20= 95% and that is not good! • Skin cancer is ugly, and it just may kill you!

  4. They give you wrinkles • For every 30 minutes you tan, you add 5 new wrinkles to your body by the time you are 40. • Which is more attractive? Tan wrinkly skin, or pale smooth skin? • You can undo the effects of a bad tan, or even pale skin, but you cannot undo wrinkles!

  5. Tanning beds are too costly • According to Business Wire, in 2003: • “Ten percent of Americans spend on average $300 per year to tan indoors. This equates to a total US market for tanning of over $9 billion per year” • You could be spending your money on much better things • There are plenty of beauty alternatives that also cause money, but are not hazardous to your health

  6. SO, avoid the fake bake • It will burn a hole in your skin (cancer) • It will give you ugly wrinkles • It will burn a hole in your wallet • Just ask yourself, is tan all that grand????
