Housecall for Health: Smoking & Ear Infections

There may be a new health risk for second hand smokers to consider when lighting up around kids.

FOX’s Colleen Cappon has more in today’s Housecall for Health:

The data from the archives of pediatrics and adolescent medicine showed that when moms lit up, kids were almost twice as likely to need surgery for recurrent ear infections or similar problems.
