- Some of the questions it answers are: 🌧️ Why are sunbeds more prevalent in North(-West) Britain? 🚭 Is the sunbed industry similar to the tobacco, nicotine and alcohol industry? 🔥 Can you trust the sunbed industry’s ‘skin’ and ‘health-enhancement’ campaigns?
- 🫣 How does tanning culture speak to class, gender, race, sexuality and age-bound stigma? 📈 Were the public health campaigns effective? 💉 Finally, when reflecting on the past, what’s the future of tanning (and marketing) technologies?
