"Project a puff of noxious gas"??? Isn't a "puff" supposed to be the same as a "cloud"? Why doesn't Poison Spray cast a "cloud" of poison? It's just another one target spell. Why the deceiving text? It's just a short range poison cantrip that says it's better than it really is. Or is this just ANOTHER bug and it's supposed to work differently?

When talking about gas, the word "puff" can imply several sized :
1. A cloud of smoke
2. A gust of air
3. The smoke coming out of a cigar/cigarette
4. A (human) breath

One of the definition being:

a small amount of smoke, air, or something that can rise into the air in a small cloud

So, on this case, Poison Spray is actually a quite small puff of noxious gas. The word "Spray" implies as much, in my opinion.

Personally, I see this spell as some sort of Pepper Spray...except it's poison.

Edit : Also, cloud can be used figuratively (a fluffy mass, not necessarily a giant mixed mass of gas/liquid/solid in the sky).
