Tanning beds ranked as greatest cancer threat to humans, along with smoking, arsenic and asbestos

Tanning beds have been ranked alongside cigarettes, arsenic and asbestos as posing the greatest threat of cancer to humans by an international cancer research group. The new classification means tanning beds are a definite cause of cancer, alongside tobacco, the hepatitis B virus and chimney sweeping, among others.

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has moved ultra-violet emitting tanning beds to its highest cancer risk category and labeled them as "carcinogenic to humans" after ruling they are more dangerous than previously suggested. The research, published in the latest edition of The Lancet Oncology medical journal, found using tanning beds could increase the risk of developing cancer by 75 percent, particularly if used by children and young adults. "The risk of skin melanoma is increased by 75 percent when use of tanning devices starts before 30 years of age," said the report.
