Adverts for UV tanning salons and sunbeds are to be banned in France under a new drafted health bill.
French parliament has approved the draft law which bans the promotion of sunbeds and advertisement of UV tanning salons.
The rule would also require staff in 10,700 tanning salons across the country to undergo thorough training about the risks of cancer through exposure to ultra-violet beams.
The legislation would also prohibit the selling or giving away of sun beds to those who are not health and beauty professionals. Both clauses are part of a wider health bill drafted that is expected to be finalised by the year’s end.
