John Berger on smoking,
which he does with the fierce enjoyment
of a true addict.
'A cigarette', he says, inhaling deeply,
'is a breathing space. It makes a parenthesis.
The time of a cigarette is a parenthesis,
and if it is shared you are both in that parenthesis.
It's like a proscenium arch for a dialogue.'
