Doctors feel their advice on tanning is being ignored

UNDATED (WXOW) - As we get closer to summer and pool season, a new study shows half of Americans, age 18-29, were sunburned at least once last year.

Also, 6% of adults say they use tanning beds.

Meanwhile, doctors continue to warn about the dangers of tanning and say their advice is being ignored.

The same report finds skin cancer risk jumps 75% among people who use tanning beds before age 35.
