Getting a suntan

The BBC has an interesting report about the use of sunbeds in the UK.

There are thousands of tanning salons in the UK, and many people believe that a suntan (even a fake one!) makes them look healthier.
However, Cancer Research UK believe that young people should not use sunbeds, and say that people who use them before the age of 35 have a higher risk of skin cancer.

What do you think? Is a suntan considered healthy in your country, or do people try and keep out of the sun?
