Pretty much anything can be an addiction.

I don't know what the negative effects of spray tanning are(other than the obvious fact that some people who do it look pretty weird), but that seems to have caught fire in Utah the past few years. I know tons of girls that are "addicted" to that.
 
I was curious RE: spray tans:

Dr. Jaspel Singh is a pulmonologist with Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, N. C. He says spray tans have one thing in common: A chemical called Dihydroxyacetone, also known as DHA.

Once someone inhales this chemical, Singh says it can be absorbed by your lungs and carried into your blood stream.

While shooting this story, the mist from a spray tan collected all over the lens of our camera.

We removed the residue with a disposable lens cloth, which left brown stains. This is the same residue collecting inside your lungs. Repeated exposures over time, Singh warns, could be bad for your health.

You're lucky if you only get an inflammation similar to asthma, but he says DHA can also cause Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, also known as COPD.

While a spray tan may help you avoid skin cancer, Singh says breathing this chemical could induce a genetic alteration for those predisposed to cancer of the lungs, breast or colon.

"Depending on what area it is exposed to, it may make them more at risk for those types of cancers," Singh said.
 
Is it a sickness or not?
anybody got any family addicted to it.

no worry obamacare will pay for their cancer

If someone is addicted to it, then yes, it's a sickness. That said, I come from a brown skinned ilk so my family doesn't need any sort of help in this department besides when out in the sun for a while I tan a golden brown.

As far as spray tanning and tanning bed use goes, I think a certain phyla of people use this stuff.
