We have shown the value of prevention and of long-term planning in prevention campaigning. Sunbed use was reduced significantly during 2007-2015 and further reductions are possible by structural interventions. Consequently, significantly fewer skin cancer cases are anticipated during 2007-2040. The Danish Parliament has population support to enforce structural interventions to avoid a large burden of this disease.
