Too much talking and too much smoking cause, which is well known, similar effects: coughing, dehydration, isolation and addiction; but even under normal circumstances smoking and conversation are necessarily characterized by short moments of asphyxiation, using the respiratory process as vehicle for the distortion and production of amorphous ‘inter-objectality’: smoke, halitosis, and all the strange guttural sounds accompanying the circulation of air and production of meaning. In is world we all smoke, suffer from halitosis and emit guttural sounds; they are only the formal adhesives necessary for our existence and participation in social transactions.
