Answer:

Tanning beds are NOT safer than the sun.

Step-by-step explanation:

Science tells us that there's no such thing as a safe tanning bed, tanning booth, or sun lamp. Just one indoor tanning session can increase the risk of developing skin cancer (melanoma by 20%, squamous cell carcinoma by 67%, and basal cell carcinoma by 29%).
