breath/breath in

'People will breath smoke to live' or
'People will breath in smoke to live'

I'm working on a title for a banner, the objective is persuating people to hate smokers. The background on the banner has a lot of smoke coming from smokers.

It's for a title, to have the remark effect my guess is I could skip the 'in', what do you think, should I add it back?

Thank you in advance. Terr

Hi Feebs11!

oh sorry for my unclear/unanswerable question.

Actually, the banner is trying to establish a .. well.. surreal idea that someday there are too many smokers around, their smoke took over every possible space and there's no more clean air around at any possible corner, people will have to breath(or in?) smoke in order to live, there were nothing else except for smoke

Now that I rereaded the post, I think Feebs11 has answered my question, it's 'breath in' Emotion: stick out tongue

Thank you so much - Te

Hi,

'People will breath smoke to live' or
'People will breath in smoke to live'


The verb is 'breathe'.

Hi Clive!

Oh I have always remembered 'breath' is for both verb and noun, thanks for telling me!
