Charleston: Tanning Capital of U.S.?

A medical journal finds that among the nation's 116 largest cities, Charleston has the most tanning salons per-capita, The Associated Press reports.

The American Journal of Preventive Medicine counted 18 tanning locations in West Virginia's capital city.

"The journal says the use of tanning lamps has been linked to two types of skin cancer. It cites estimates that 20 percent of Americans between 18 and 29 have used indoor tanning booths in the last year," the article said. "A bill introduced this month in the Legislature would require parental consent for children under 18 hoping to use a tanning salon."
