We breathe due to pressure differentials created by our diaphragms: when we "inhale", all we're doing is lowering our lung pressure which causes air to rush in to both lungs as a result. Exhaling is active, though. I'm always surprised to see that a lot of people don't know this and think we just actively suck in air when breathing.

I don't think so, Tim.

We do actively suck in air, though. Sucking in air is always a matter of creating a vacuum, which we actively do. Negative pressure breathing is distinct from positive pressure breathing, but it's no less of an active process.

It is the very quintessence of it.

Sucking is essentially a differential in pressure created by us causing air to rush into our bodies
