Sunbeds and sunbathing have been highlighted in new NHS proposals to raise awareness of "lifestyle" causes of cancer. The emphasis on risks is part of a £370 million five-year Government strategy for battling the disease. Among preventative measures are plans to consult on banning the sale of tobacco in vending machines, reducing cigarette displays in shops and a fresh look at cigarette packaging.
I don't think that highlighting risky behaviour is a necessarily new or innovative approach to discouraging us from partaking in activities that may increase our risk of cancer. Perhaps they are going to do so more aggressively.

They are indeed, check out these horribly disturbing pictures planned to be stuck to tobacco products in the new year. The article explains the UK situation and will act as an eye-opener for one or two of you smokers out there...
