No. 3: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
No. 3: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Sorry Steelers fans, you might want to take the closest bridge out of town because your "City of Bridges" has a triple whammy for your skin: It is the second most polluted city in the country (for year-round particle pollution) according to the American Lung Association, with the second highest tanning salons per capita (28!), and a high smoking rate (20.2 percent). If you call The Burgh home make sure you counteract skin damage with one of these vitamin-packed serums. (And if you do live in Pittsburgh, make sure you take care of your hair too, since this town made it onto our worst hair cities list as well.)

High smoking rates and tanning coffins...I thought people had more sense than that, but sadly no.

I just never understood that tanning salon thing. 34 tanning salons per capita just sounds insane.
