    Solariums Banned

    The New South Wales Government has become the first in the country to announce it is banning all solariums. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-02-0...ariums/3811454

    About time I say! I find it hard to believe so many people still actually use them when the dangers are so well known. I know a few people who have been using them for years and honestly they look like dried up old leather anyway!

    People think that because it's not the sun, it's not damaging their skin. Good move, NSW Govt.

    Yep agree, esp after watching the American show "The Big C".

    At last....something sensible .
    I am beautiful inside and out so I should love myself unconditionally.

    Weather it be or weather it not Heather complains 'cause it's far from hot
    Her disdain for the rain is catching on quickly To Mad Old Cow she can be quite prickly
    Grab jumper, a scarf or even a dog.
    That'll warm you up, you jolly great snob!!

    About time time if they had been responsible to start with might not have come to this now they've done there selves in good riddance to them. There's talk that they will ban it in Victoria as well.
    TO KNOW SOMEONE HERE OR THERE WITH WHOM YOU FEEL THERE IS AN UNDERSTANDING IN SPITE OF DISTANCES OR THOUGHTS UNEXPRESSED----THAT CAN MAKE OF THIS EARTH A GARDEN.
