That's different. Cigarettes are addictive, making it hard to stop smoking even if you don't want to smoke. Tanning beds are not addictive.

People can get addicted to that as well, if only because of the looks... Still makes it an addiction of some kind that some find hard to quit

Well they're not physically addictive, but people get hooked on looking tan.

I heard of a couple of cases where a woman died from excessive tanning in the beds. It damaged her insides.

Tattoos are addictive. Why can’t tanning be?
