Outdoor and indoor tanning is dangerous, but people continue to do it. Why?
A new study says some people are addicted to tanning, with symptoms just like those of alcoholics or drug addicts.
"There's something about it - I'm no sure what exactly. But, I have a little bit of a high or a better feeling. I'm happier, more perky," said one woman.
Dermatologists say UV light releases endorphins, which gives folks a natural high. They think that's a big part of why people continue to tan even they know it can cause cancer.
