Should sunscreen use be compulsory by law?

Asked by Poser (7808points) June 18th, 2009 from iPhone

The justification for “self-protection” laws such as seat belts and helmet laws is always that they help keep health costs down for everyone. If this is the case, why are smoking and drinking legal? And why aren’t I required by law to wear sunscreen if my failure to do so could potentially force others to indirectly pay for my carelessness?
