It\u2019s in writing on the World Health Organization\u2019s web site in a statement that acknowledges that UV light\u2019s relationship with melanoma skin cancer should not be described as straightforward \u2013 an error that many anti-tanning lobbying groups frequently make.  Click here to see the WHO statement.  \u201dSmart Tan has said for years that saying that UV exposure is dangerous and therefore should be avoided is like saying that water causes drowning and therefore you should avoid water,\u201d Smart Tan Executive Director Joseph Levy said. \u201cThe professional indoor tanning industry has correctly represented that overexposure to UV may be harmful, but that it isn\u2019t accurate to say any and all exposure is inherently bad.\u201d  Smart Tan has produced a one-page document for members detailing this admission, which the non-profit Sunlight Institute has disputed with 23 research citations.
