Stay Away from Tanning Beds

Teen-agers feel invulnerable and often go too far to look good.  I mean, who in the right mind, would use a tanning bed twice a day.  That is apart from George Hamilton.

Zita started doing just that when she was 14, giving them up when she was 21.  But already that was too late.

Last August she found a mole on her leg and was diagnosed with melanoma.  Doctors who treated her said they believed the excessive use of sunbeds caused her cancer. 

Nine months later she was dead, just three days before her daughter's first birthday.

Her partner Phil said that the sunbeds had destroyed the family's life.

Tanorexic young mother dies of skin cancer after seven years of sunbeds.
