Although there is a connection between the throat and the inner ear, there is a physical barrier between the inner ear and the outer ear, namely the eardrum. Therefore air and any smoke it contained could not pass from the respiratory system to the outside through the ears.

Smoke does not come out of ears because there is no connection to the throat, or esophagus. Just close your mouth and nose... can you feel air coming out of your ears?
If smoke did come out of somebody's ears, it would mean that there is a problem with their ears.
As an interesting note, there is a passage between the nose and the inside corners of the eyes. Some people can block their nose and blow, and make air or bubbles come out next to their eyeballs.

Your ears are not connected to the lungs and respiration in any way that would allow smoke to travel there.

The eustation tube is too narrow and the tympanic membrane is non-permeable. People do attribute otitis media (middle ear infection) to cigarette smoking. So, it is going half way up...
