2. FFS! On what "medical" basis? To activate Vitamin D?

Look, I grew up with teenagers in the Seventies where they slathered Coppertone, Hawaiian Tropic Coconut Oil, and other baby oil brands. And sun-bathing for 6+ hours regularly. Their skin was a nice roasted bronze. How many of them are undergoing treatment for melanoma and/or wrinkles and/or skin resembling cow hide?

The sun is dangerous enough and you can't control teens from laying down towels and roasting themselves.

But tanning beds can be regulated and restricted.

Another RFK, Jr. crackpot idea.
