In 2007, the Hong Kong government enacted a public area smoking ban that sent the city’s smokers out to the trash can ashtrays on the streets for their fix. This indirectly created a new socializing space that brought people from all walks of life together, united by their addiction to nicotine. This new social phenomenon – and the possibility of romance that it brings – inspired writer-director Pang Ho Cheung to make the romantic comedy Love in a Puff. Set in the back alleyways and empty streets of Hong Kong, the film stars Miriam Yeung (Love Undercover) and Shawn Yue (Infernal Affairs) in an unlikely romance set off by the flicker of a lighter. Co-written by up-and-coming young director Heiward Mak (High Noon), Love in a Puff is Pang’s first Category III film due to its fill of crude jokes and adult language. However, a sweet and charming romance lies at the film’s core, making it also the director’s lightest – and funniest – film yet. Love in a Puff initially opened to only a modest box office gross, but praise for the offbeat romance traveled quickly around Hong Kong youths, turning it into a rare sleeper hit over its extended theatrical run in spring 2010.

Cosmetic salesperson Cherie (Miriam Yeung) and advertising agency employee Jimmy (Shawn Yue) are both part of a group of smokers that include advertising executives, a hotel bellhop (Cheung Tat Ming), and a Pakistani pizza delivery boy. They spend their smoking breaks telling each other horror stories, dirty jokes, and gossip about the people around. Soon, a not-so-platonic friendship begins to form between Cherie and Jimmy when they start having text message conversations and night strolls outside the smoking group. Can they overcome their relationship obstacles, or will their romance be as short-lived as a burning cigarette?
