My family had 8 tanning Salons in the Portland, OR area, 2 myself, 2 brothers, 1 cousin, 3 another cousin. only 2 are left open as we have closed 6 locations with loss of 25+ part-time jobs and 6 rental incomes to landlords. This tax and the publicity that went with it killed out businesses and even the 2 left standing are struggling. Responsible tanning practices protects people against burning which is the main cause of skin cancer not just exposure to the sun.
