Can one be addicted to tanning? From today's Inside Higher Ed: "More than 25 percent of university students surveyed exhibit symptoms of "tanning dependence," including symptoms similar to alcohol and drug addictions, according to an article <http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/09/080902122849.htm> in the new issue of the /American Journal of Health Behavior./ Those with "tanorexia" are more likely than other students to be thin and to smoke cigarettes, the study found. Forty percent of those studied had used tanning booths."
