Default Sunbeds are dangerous - should they be illegal?

There have been calls to ban sunbeds or at least to restrict the use of them following from research concluding that they pose a serious risk to health. Should they be banned or strictly regulated, or should adults be treated like adults and have the choice to make their own decisions?

I think adults should be allowed to fry themselves alive if they wish, but there should be a huge tax put on sunbeds to pay for the NHS bills from people with sunbed induced skin cancer.

Much in the same way tobacco is taxed, perhaps...
