A new study discovered that indoor tanning among U.S. college students is linked to addiction, anxiety, and substance use. Georgiann Caruso of CNN writes that researchers polled more than 400 undergraduates between the ages of 18 and 25 in the northeastern U.S, and half of them said they used tanning beds. The participants were asked about their tanning habits as well as their use of alcohol and other substances, and found that people who used tanning beds also tended to drink alcohol and use marijuana. They were also more likely to have anxiety.
