Junk Science Accusation
According to the American Medical Association, secondhand smoke kills approximately 3,000 Illinoisans annually.
Scheuer disagrees with that conclusion.
"I don't believe secondhand smoke health claims are valid," Scheuer said. "It's feel-good legislation and based on junk science. There are too many studies out there questioning the belief that secondhand smoke is dangerous.
"I do not believe that secondhand smoke or smoking by itself causes cancer," Scheuer continued. "It hasn't been proven, and the idea that you tell a lie enough times until it becomes the truth is the case in this instance."

Riiiiiiight
Well I guess he'd have to make this idiotic argument since it's the only way that his argument that the smoking ban violates his "personal freedoms" can stand - as soon as he accepts that fact that second hand smoke and smoking cause cancer then he has no legs to stand on legally.
