    This looks like websites made by kids in the early days!

    On a side note I am very glad smoking is banned everywhere. I couldn’t imagine all of the ear infections I’d get from people smoking literally everywhere.

        Children are apparently more likely to get it though I got a lot of ear infections and had tubes in my ears when I was a baby. I had a ear infection after someone was smoking a couple years back and lost hearing completely in one of my ears due to it, wasn’t sick with anything viral before.

        When I was a kid I remember one ear infection that caused my ears to leak a liquid that was dry and would make my cheeks crusty. My grandpa used to smoke in front of us before smoking ban.

        Can find a bunch of articles on the link with second hand smoking and ear infections here’s one.
