OTTAWA, May 18, 2012 /CNW/ – The Canadian Dermatology Association
welcomed the news that Quebec has introduced legislation to ban tanning
bed use by persons under 18 throughout the Province.
Dermatologist Joel Claveau, who spearheaded the campaign for the ban in
Quebec, applauded the leadership shown by Health Minister, Dr. Yves
Bolduc, who introduced the measure in the legislature on May 15.
“Dermatologists have expressed concern about the unnecessary risks
faced by young people tanning artificially and have campaigned
nationally for a ban of this kind,” said Dr. Claveau. “We applaud
Minister Bolduc’s leadership introducing this law.”
The Canadian Dermatology Association is actively pushing all governments
to adopt similar bans. A component of the campaign has been an award
winning public service video [Indoor Tanning Isn't Pretty] that has been viewed on YouTube by over 41,000 people.
Not only can the ultraviolet radiation from indoor tanning beds cause
premature aging, it also increases the risk of skin cancer, including melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer.
Indoor tanning before the age of 30 has been associated with a
significant increase in the risk of melanoma, and recently sunbeds (UV
tanning beds) were moved up to the highest cancer risk category—group
1— ‘carcinogenic to humans’ by the World Health Organization’s
International Agency for Research on Cancer.
“We hope all of the provinces and territories will soon take steps to
protect our young people from increasing the risk of developing skin
cancer and other ill effects from this unnecessary cosmetic treatment,”
concluded Dr. Claveau.

Tanning-Mom-Patricia-Krentsil-Poses-Braless-for-Paparazzi
Patricia Krentcil, the “tanning mom,” who was arrested for allegedly taking her 5-year old daughter to a tanning salon, causing her severe burns, was recently videoed by paparazzi outside of her house in Nutley, N.J. posing without a bra and discussing her desire to pose for Playboy magazine. The woman, who has been banned from more than 60 tanning parlors in the tri-state area, allowed her sagging mammaries to swing free in the video is certainly no looker and doesn’t have a chance of hell of getting into playboy. Nothing is less sexy than saggy breasts and child endangerment, after all.
Partway through the interview, Krentcil’s older daughter came outside, yelling at her mother to stop speaking with the press and pleading for her mother to “get in the house.”
“All they do is make fun of you,” she cried out.
In response to Krentcil’s abhorrent behavior, the New Jersey legislature has recommended that minors should be banned from using tanning beds.
Krentcil claims to have gotten a call from Playboy, and has previously said she would pose if asked. Way to milk the fame (or infamy) of abusing your kids! Playboy has said they would not allow her in their magazine.
Krentsil argued with her daughter, who called the paparazzos “Fucking losers,” when she told her to come in, stating that she just wanted to say one more thing. Nobody wants to hear what you have to say lady!
In the video you can hear the suppressed laughter in the voices of the “journalist” asking Krentsil the questions, as he struggles to keep from collapsing from the hilarity of the deluded child abuser’s answers.

NEW YORK – Bravo for the tanning mom! No one has had more of a positive effect on our health or the health of our kids in recent history.
Or as my dad used to say, everyone plays a purpose in life, if only as a bad example.
Patricia Krentcil is the doozie of all bad examples; you’ll remember burnt orange complexion was discovered after police charged her with taking her child to the tanning salon and allowing her to bake.
Because of Krentcil, anti-tanning has become the new hip national cause.
At high schools from Dallas to Massachusetts thousands of seniors are taking a no tanning pledge before prom and as we all know prom is where many social movements and many human beings for that matter are conceived.
New laws limiting or even banning tanning beds are being considered in every state and Canada.
Even Snooki from the Jersey Shore, the former queen of tanning, says she is going to stop tanning for her baby.
All because of the tanning mom; the accidental heroine, who undoubtedly will save lives.
The international agency for research of cancer recently added ultra violet radiation from tanning beds to its list of world’s top cancer causing agents, joining plutonium, radium and uranium.
They are especially dangerous to the young. Those under 30 who use tanning beds have a 75 percent greater chance of getting skin cancer, skin cancer kills 12,000 people every year.
So thank you Patricia Krentcil, you are the Norma Rae of anti-tanning or maybe Lady Godiva is more appropriate since she has agreed to pose nude for playboy.
I know; I’m sorry, just erase the image from your mind, think about something else.
And Krentcil is becoming more pro-active in the anti-tanning campaign as she has said she is going to stop going to tanning salons. Krentcil, Snooki, high school girls, wow; if only everybody would set such a positive example.
I’m looking at you John Boehner.

The issue has seen renewed interest after a Nutley woman was accused this month of taking her 5-year-old daughter into a tanning booth. That allegedly resulted in burns to the child’s skin. The mother, Patricia Krentcil, has denied she took the child into the booth and pleaded not guilty to child endangerment.
Supporters of the measure presented lawmakers with a number of studies, including one showing that indoor tanning use by those age 35 and younger significantly increases the risk of melanoma. They also cited an estimate that one in three American 17-year-olds uses indoor tanning beds.
Thirty-three states regulate the use of tanning facilities by minors, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. An additional 23 states have seen legislation prohibiting tanning introduced since 2011. California and Vermont are the only states that have bans against tanning for children under 18.
Laura Lawson of Cherry Hill told lawmakers she started tanning at 16 and at 19 was diagnosed with skin cancer. She had a fist-size piece of her abdomen removed.
“I figured a few years of tanning wouldn’t affect my life,” said Lawson, now in her 20s. “How wrong I was.”
Assemblywoman Holly Schepisi told the committee she used a tanning bed as a teenager and almost died from a rare form of melanoma at age 25. Over 15 years later, Schepisi said, she still needs regular screenings and worries about being there for her children.
“This is not just getting a mole cut off,” she said.
Dermatologist Elizabeth Quigley said that she regularly treats teenagers and warns them of the dangers of indoor tanning, but that they seldom listen.
Tanning salon owners and industry spokesmen said the ban has more to do with politics than science.
International Smart Tan Network executive director Joseph Levy said studies showing links between indoor tanning and skin cancer are inconclusive.
“We’re here in this sort of circus environment because of the tanned mom in New Jersey,” Levy said.
The measure would take effect six months after enactment.

QUEBEC – Quebec teens looking to show off a golden salon tan at their prom will soon be out of luck thanks to new legislation tabled Tuesday.
The government, seeking to curb the increasing rates of deadly melanoma among the young, is banning tanning salons to those under 18 years old.
Health Minister Yves Bolduc hopes the legislation will be passed before the legislature’s recess in June.
Youths who violate the law will face fines of $100 while a tanning salon that admits a minor will be fined up to $15,000.
The bill also seeks to ban advertising of artificial tanning for children and adolescents. Salons will have to post warnings informing customers of the harmful effects of tanning and the risks of skin cancer.
The provincial Health Department will hire two or three inspectors to enforce the law.
Bolduc said the government is seeking to protect minors who have less of a grasp of the seriousness of the situation. He added he is not seeking to extend the ban to cover the entire population.
“There is a question of individual rights and personal choice,” he said.
The Canadian Cancer Society says exposure to indoor tanning before the age of 35 increases the danger of melanoma by 75 per cent.
Three-quarters of the cases of melanoma diagnosed in indoor tanners between the ages of 18 and 29 are due to the use of tanning beds, adds the Quebec public health institute, which estimates the ultraviolet rays emitted by the beds are between five and 15 times stronger than the midday sun.
Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer.
The institute says around 250,000 Quebecers under the age of 30 went to a tanning salon last year, at a rate of once a month on average.
The cancer society and the Quebec association of dermatologists, which had both lobbied for a ban, praised the law.
They noted the number of cases of melanoma had doubled in Quebec in the last 15 years and each year there are 22,000 newly diagnosed cases of skin cancer in Quebec.
Dr. Joel Claveau, a spokesman for the dermatologists’ association, said the law “sends a clear message to people that artificial tanning and even the sun is dangerous for our youth and for us, regardless of age.
“It is very important to take skin cancer seriously,” he said, pointing out that last weekend a 30-year-old patient of his had died of melanoma.
“I diagnose almost 10 skin cancers every day,” Claveau said.
An age limit on indoor tanning has already been put in place in Nova Scotia, while British Columbia announced similar legislation in March. The Ontario NDP’s health critic has her own private member’s bill with the same goal and a Conservative MP has also tabled a private member’s bill in Parliament.
France, Germany and Australia have banned the use of tanning equipment by those under 18.
The Joint Canadian Tanning Association, which represents the indoor tanning industry, has been calling for provincial regulations that would strengthen voluntary guidelines. Those guidelines include parental consent for those under 18 — not an outright ban.
The association would also like to see better regulation on certification and training for those who sell tanning services.

 So called Tanning Mom Patricia Krentcil will not expose her elephant hide skin in the pages of Playboy. The world can breathe a sigh of relief. It’s hard enough to see that face on the news talking about whether or not she took her five-year-old daughter tanning. Krentcil is currently free on $2,500 bond. She is due back in court in June.
According to TMZ, Krentcil has expressed interest in posing naked (oh dear) in a number of publications, including Playboy. A source from the magazine tells the site that this will never happen.
“It wouldn’t even be considered” — Hef wouldn’t let TM pose in the
magazine or ANY Playboy outlet. Simply put — Tanning Mom just isn’t
Playboy material,” the source says. We want to know what you think. Would the curiosity factor be enough to make you buy a magazine with the Tanning Mom posing naked in it? You know someone will make an offer. Let us know your thoughts.

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey is looking at tightening restrictions on the use of tanning beds by young people under a bill that would bar anyone under 18 from doing so.
The Assembly’s Women and Children Committee passed the measure Monday by a 5-0 vote, though two members abstained. It now heads to the full Assembly for consideration, but it’s not known when a vote will be held.
The bill would expand a 2006 state law that bans tanning bed use by anyone under 14, and requires written parental consent for those ages 14 to 17. The bill would allow for spray or sunless tanning for children aged 14 to 17 with parental consent.
The issue has seen renewed interest after a Nutley woman was accused this month of taking her 5-year-old daughter into a tanning booth. That allegedly resulted in burns to the child’s skin, and the mother, Patricia Krentcil, has pleaded not guilty to child endangerment.
Supporters of the measure presented lawmakers with a number of studies, including one showing indoor tanning use by those age 35 and younger significantly increases the risk of melanoma. They also cited an estimate that one in three American 17-year-olds uses indoor tanning beds.
Thirty-three states regulate the use of tanning facilities by minors, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Another 23 states have seen legislation prohibiting tanning introduced since 2011. California and Vermont are the only states that have outright bans against tanning for children under age 18.

“This is not just getting a mole cut off,” she said.
Dermatologist Elizabeth Quigley said she regularly treats teenagers and warns them of the dangers of indoor tanning, but that they seldom listen.
Tanning salon owners and industry spokesmen said the ban has more to do with politics than science.
International Smart Tan Network executive director Joseph Levy said studies showing links between indoor tanning and skin cancer are inconclusive.
“We’re here in this sort of circus environment because of the tanned mom in New Jersey,” Levy said.
Salon owner James Oliver suggested dermatologists who use devices similar to tanning beds to treat certain conditions are trying to profit by over-diagnosing skin cancer and banning indoor tanning.
Oliver projected the ban would mean a 20 to 25 percent drop in business, although Levy said it would affect 5 percent of customers or fewer.
Assemblywomen Caroline Casagrande and BettyLou DeCroce, both Republicans, abstained from voting. They said greater parental guidance and education related to tanning is needed, and questioned why minors needs parental consent to get a spray tan.
The measure would take effect six months after enactment.
