A metaphor is a way of speaking as to not take the word or words used at its true meaning. An example for soot may be; the porcelain soot on her face.
No smoke can not be turned into liquid.
Smoke is not a change but a complex mixture; producing smoke is a chemical process.
That is a simile. It is COMPARING your lives' to a puff of smoke. A metaphor would be "Your lives ARE a puff of smoke."
Column of smoke has been used so often as a standard phrase that it is difficult to call it a metaphor. Also a metaphor is normally a phrase that would be substituted for something else to make the language more picturesque. Let's see what we can do with your column of smoke. He looked at the chimney and saw a column of smoke. He saw it spewing forth clouds of acid rain killing trees and fish. He smelled it ... He coughed up the grime. What metaphors can you think of for column of smoke?
