About this trial
adolescents are usually exposed to tobacco smoke passively. this can reduce their lung functions and negatively impact functions of Eustachian tube. The solution is to lower rates to tobacco exposure and use the support of Buteyko Breathing

Buteyko breathing plus smoking hyeigne approach
Behavioralin this group, we will include 20 adolescents who are usually exposed to tobacco smoke passively in house from smoking parent or household members. these adolescents will complain chronic dysfunction of their Eustachian Tube (chronic obstructive dysfucntion) . adolescents will receive smoking hyeigne approach for 6 months.This group will additionally receive Buteyko Breathing 30-minute apprach (this appraoch will be appleid by patients all days weekly, except fridays, for 6 months).
