As the use of indoor tanning beds gained popularity in the decades after their appearance in the market in the early 1970s, concerns arose regarding their use. Clinical research has revealed an association between indoor tanning and several health risks, including the subsequent occurrence of melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancers, the development of psychologic dependence, and a tendency toward other high-risk health behaviors. In the face of mounting evidence, legislation has been passed, which includes the restriction of access to tanning beds by minors in 42 states and the District of Columbia, and the recent reclassification by the Food and Drug Administration, which now categorizes tanning beds as class II devices and worthy of restrictions and oversight. Early evidence suggests that these labors are resulting in cultural change, although continued efforts are necessary to limit further exposure and better inform the public of the dangers associated with indoor tanning use.
20世纪70年代初室内晒黑床投放市场后的几十年间，其使用日益普遍，人们也开始对其使用产生担忧。临床研究表明，室内晒黑与多种健康风险相关，包括后续发生黑色素瘤和非黑色素瘤皮肤癌、产生心理依赖，以及出现其他高风险健康行为的倾向。面对越来越多的证据，相关立法得以通过，其中包括42个州和哥伦比亚特区限制未成年人使用晒黑床，以及美国食品药品监督管理局最近进行的重新分类，该机构现在将晒黑床归类为II类设备，值得加以限制和监管。早期证据表明，这些努力正在带来文化变革，不过仍需持续努力以限制进一步接触，并更好地让公众了解与使用室内晒黑相关的危险。
