Good or bad? "Tan Mom" story leads to tanning teen banning.

Chris Christie, the governor of Tan Mom's home state of New Jersey, has signed a bill into law banning children under 17 from using commercial tanning beds.

Tan Mom—whose real name is actually Patricia Krentcil—got the quaint nickname from the tabloids after she was accused by officials of taking her 5-year-old daughter into a tanning booth after the girl showed up to school with burns on her skin.

Tan Mom denied the accusations and she was let off the hook by the jury, but not with Gov. Christie, apparently.

"The new restrictions imposed by this bill followed a single but breathlessly reported incident of a parent bringing a minor child into a tanning facility," Governor Christie said.

Previously, New Jersey was one of several states that prohibited individuals under 14 from hopping under UV lights to get a faux-glow because of the risk of skin cancer. But Christie is upping that ante. The new law even bans tweens under 14 from getting spray tans in tanning salons.

Well, isn't this really up to the parents? First no large sugary drinks in NYC, now no teen tanning in NJ? Come on people, be responsible!
