It wasn’t a Boehner tax. Only white folks pay for tans.

Boehner had a natural tan. He didn’t need a tanning salon

Gov did such a great job convincing everyone of the necessity of tobacco excise taxes, the gov naturally will branch out into other “unhealthy” lifestyles for taxation.

“How about a tax on Afrosheen?”
Yes, considering the majority of this product’s users rarely if ever pay income tax.
BTW, Sheik Yerbouti was a great record from FZ but you knew that.

Exactly. The Cracker Tax. Can’t believe that this hasn’t been fought under Equal Protection. Guaratnteed they’d fight if there was an extra tax on Afro Sheen, Kool cigs and Hennessey.

A burn isn't the only concern. I've had a couple patients need whittling where that one sock should have been, but wasn't, during long habits of tanning. Gals are also risking some skin their mom's mostly didn't risk, in their high tech avoidance of tan lines, which has also led to some unwanted whittling. And tanning constantly what was, at most, tanned seasonally in earlier generations has led to a LOT more whittling and has prematurely aged said skin at least proportionately to its increased duration of being tan.
Skin cancer, collectively, already is more than half of all cancer in the US. It can go higher. Aussies hold the record. At their worst, melanoma (4-5% of US skin cancers), was as common in Aussies as breast cancer is in US women. We shouldn't be chasing that record. Nor do we want, at our high school reunions, to look as old as our surviving teachers.
