      The answer to this is NO.

      There is a small passage from the edge of the eyelid to the inside of the nose (called the Nasolacrimal duct) which is to drain excess tear fluid down into the nose (which is why you have to wipe your nose when you cry).

      Binuraj is correct, I think! 🙂 What do you think that would feel like, I am imagining it would feel pretty weird to be able to breathe that way…?

      Imagine if you could?! Presumably you’d be able to SEE your breath then, how cool would that be??
