Tanning bed: when you tan in a tanning bed to make your skin browner.

According to the data from the 2013 youth risk health surveillance system many teens are indoor tanning, including—

• 13% of all high school students.
• 20% of high school girls.
• 27% of girls in the 12th grade.
• 31% of white high school girls.

According to the 2010 national health interview system indoor tanners tended to be young, non-Hispanic white (NHW) women. A closer look at the data showed the following rates of indoor tanning among NHW women—

• 32% of those aged 18 to 21 years.
• 30% of those aged 22 to 25 years.
• 22% of those aged 26 to 29 years.
• 17% of those aged 30 to 34 years.

The reason why these people use it is because they might get picked on for there weight or they think there to fat and want to get skinnier.

The side affects are skin cancer, melanoma, wrinkles, age spots, blinding eye disease if they do not wear a eye protector

Interesting facts on this are that tanning beds are very addictive and people use them  longer than there meant to and in the US they make you pay a 10% tax every time you tan

Phentermine: when you take a pill that makes you lose weight.

The people who use it are usually younger adults who think they are fat so thats why they use it.

The side affects are

• chest pain, feeling like you might pass out;

• swelling in your ankles or feet;

• pounding heartbeats or fluttering in your chest;

• confusion or irritability, unusual thoughts or behavior;
