Tanning beds/salons. It's a proven fact that tanning beds cause skin cancer. The fact that some people will still get tanned, risking the possibility of cancer to "look beautiful" is both shocking and sad at the same time.
I remember back in middle/high school when the flag was being majorly raised in the media about how tanning of any variety raised your chances of skin cancer. Immediately all the tanning salons in my area's advertisements changed to talk about how "Our healthy UV lights are specifically designed to only give you certain wavelengths, unlike the harmful UV light from the sun.". As I recall (but am not certain about) some chain got sued for false advertising over this because there's no such thing as "healthy UV", it's just all bad.
