Yes they do. Tanning beds pose a greater cancer risk than previously believed, according to the International Agency for Research on Cancer

Most tanning beds use ultraviolet light, which has been confirmed to raise the risk of skin cancer. Tanning, combined with poor Skin Care and a lack of sun-tan lotion can definitely, in turn cause cancer.

They can promte the risk of cancer,Yes.
