Shakespeare uses a conceit here (an unsual comparison between two things) + Semantic field of suffocation/pollution + olfactory imagery = dramatic because it poses Love as something dangerous and toxic but also slightly undetectable - little foreshadowing here as Romeo actually poisons himself due to his love
Love is an abstract concept + 'smoke', 'fume' + onomatopoeia 'sighs' = things that are intangible which connotes that love can be difficult to grasp
