I fail to see how someone under a doctor's direction who uses a tanning bed is "stupid".
People who think taxes should be just smacked on anything because the government thinks something is better for you are stupid.
People who think someone that does something "bad for them" are stupid are just plain idiots... Think about all the activities that can be bad for you that lead to higher cost of healthcare... Surfing, skydiving, boating, white water rafting, skiing, snowboarding, skateboarding, ALL SPORTS wear down your body... Are they all stupid?

I remember back when they were considering taxing things like soft drinks and junk food to help pay for health care. I am a consumer of these items in a big way and I seriously would not mind paying a reasonable tax on these obviously unhealthy consumables if it helped reduce costs
