Composition for for breath based instruments, electronics and cigarettes. 

Each performer is given one or more cigarettes. Each note in the series is sustained for as long as possible, until the performer decides to
take a breath. Every note begins and ends as a whisper. The performer takes a drag from the cigarette and moves on to the next note. Once
the entire series has been completed, they start again from the first note. Each individual performer continues to follow these instructions
until the cigarette is finished. If a vocalist feels the urge to cough, this is neither concealed nor suppressed.
