Abstract
Although many countries
still face opposition to the
legislation of artificial tanning
beds, all Australian
states and territories have
announced a total ban on
commercial tanning beds. A
combination of epidemiological
and policy-centered
research, powerful personal
stories, and the active advocacy
of prominent academics,
cancer organizations, and
grassroots community campaigners
contributed to the
decisions to first legislate
standards and then ban all
commercial tanning beds.
We have illustrated that incremental
change can be an
effective pathway to securing
substantial public health
reforms
