Lol Siddharth, you want a tut made for everything. He probably just duplicated it, used a good gradient over the entire image and set that to overlay or color.

I'm guessing what they do is set up a good background, light some stix, set a slow shutterspeed and semi-wide aperture to get a nice 'rich' look to the smoke. Anything involving the post production I have no real idea. Maybe they just made an Overlay layer and painted the colors on? :P
