Note: The feminine smoke figure on the box of Capri cigarettes in this photo.
I had an offhand thought about smoke and air, and how the smoke syncs could be related to The Smoke Monster in the TV show Lost (note: more AIRplanes falling out of the sky this past month in Ukraine, Iran and Brazil).
On 8/4, fellow sync blogger Merovee posted this pic of a man smoking a cigarette with the smoke trail forming a woman's face.

Turns out, the man in the pic was Humphrey Bogart and the woman was his wife Lauren Bacall. Bacall passed away a week later on 8/12, the same day as famed comic Robin Williams.
Like a lifeless body devoid of the invigorating breath of life (note: BREATH/AIR is choked out by smoke), Form without the animating principle of Spirit/Beauty/Joy...is dead.
On 8/7, Twitter notified me that I had a new follower. When I clicked on it, this was her profile header:
I also noticed a smoke sync on the new HBO series "The Leftovers", a show about the aftermath of a rapture-like event where random people around the world are LOST when they simply vanish into thin AIR.
On "The Leftovers" a weird cult called The Guilty Remnant wear all-white and chain smoke.
In the FAQ of the fictional Guilty Remnant's website they state: “God’s judgment is upon us.
We don’t expect to be around for very long.” Chain-smoking is the GR’s way of showing
the world that they’ve accepted this fact and aren’t afraid to face whatever’s coming.
On 8/9, an unarmed African American teenager, Michael Brown, was shot and killed on the street by police in Ferguson, MO.

Protests erupted and soon photos emerged of cops releasing tear gas on crowds of people rioting in the neighborhood.

Today 8/15...Ferguson police say Michael Brown was allegedly suspected of stealing a $48.99 box of Swisher Sweets CIGARS.
