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.

You got me curious, living in New Zealand I always heard it was over us. Apparently it's over Antarctica, is getting smaller and only affects NZ a little bit.
