Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from indoor tanning equipment is a known cause of skin cancer; however, little is known about how the availability of indoor tanning salons has been impacted by indoor tanning legislation, including Ontario's Skin Cancer Prevention Act: Tanning Beds (SCPA). Tanning salon listings were obtained from the 2001 to 2017 editions of InfoCanada's Ontario Business to Business Sales and Marketing directories. Using descriptive statistics and regression analysis, we assessed the number of tanning salons before and after: 1) the 2006 International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) report on indoor tanning and skin cancer; 2) the 2009 World Health Organization (WHO) reclassification of artificial UV radiation as carcinogenic; and 3) the passing and enactment of Ontario's SCPA in 2013 and 2014, respectively. There were fewer tanning salon listings in the years after vs. before the IARC report, the WHO reclassification, and the passing and enactment of the SCPA. The number of tanning salons in Ontario, Canada has been declining since 2006, which may reflect a decline in indoor tanning bed use. Key public health policy instruments, including legislation and public education, appear to be associated with this trend, suggesting they may contribute to deterring indoor tanning.
