The smell of fake tan will be more prevalent, and hopefully some less people will get skin cancer from the ban

As per the HSE website:
>Skin cancer is the most common cause of cancer in Ireland. Figures indicate that there are approximately 8000 cases of non-melanoma skin cancer every year and 800 cases of malignant melanoma.
>Surveys undertaken by the Environmental Health Association of Ireland and the Irish Cancer Society have demonstrated that 7% of the population use sunbeds with 3% using them as frequently as once a week. International research documented in Standards Australia 2002 show that sunbeds can emit Ultraviolet Radiation (UV) radiation up to 5 times as strong as the Australian midday sun and therefore their use can substantially increase the risk of developing skin cancer. The International Agency for Research on Cancer has concluded that the risk of cutaneous melanoma is increased by 75% when the use of tanning beds starts before 30 years of age. It subsequently raised the classification of the use of UV tanning devices to Group 1 – namely, ‘carcinogenic to humans’.

Ban everything

Ban tobacco, vapes, alcohol, red meat. People know the risks, they make their choice. You going to start banning any sports which can result in injury? If it was a no brainer why didn’t he do it when he was minister for health previously?!

He couldn’t event ban one time use vapes … dude finish solving one before you jump to the next one.

Definitely seems like a reasonable idea – I’m surprised they’re still around tbh. They seem about as safe as asbestos.
I wonder though will the fake tan sprays go out of fashion now that they make you look like Donald Trump?

Nail bars, barbers, vape shops and phone repair shops are all about to see expansion!

Has this government done anything of substance since being elected. Why is the Taoiseach talking about poxy sunbeds?

I’d never use a sun bed in a million years, but I hate that the Irish government’s solution to anything they don’t like is to ban it.

It would save the HSE millions and the people of Ireland an awful lot of suffering

I still have no idea why there is vat on sun cream when Ireland has such a high rate of melanoma

I lived in Australia for a long time and was shocked when I came back to Ireland to find that sunbeds are still used here.
While Australia and New Zealand have the world’s highest rate, Ireland ranked tenth in Europe and twelfth in the world for detection of melanoma across both sexes. Despite our shite weather.
