He puffs like hell.
Can you tell whether the puff is bragging or smoking?
Thanks.

Well, I think it'd be unusual to use it as a synonym for bragging in this kind of sentence. Even so, it could mean bragging, smoking or gasping for breath. The last is probably most likely. Context would reveal the intended meaning. |
