A breath of fresh air: Canadian firm cashes in on smog

Santa's gift bag full of air is no longer a joke, as a Canadian company that sells crisp, canned air from the Rocky Mountains has cashed in on China's air pollution.

Just two months after arriving in China, Vitality Air's first 500 canisters were sold out. The next pre-ordered 4,000 canisters are expected to be delivered to the country in two weeks, said Catherine Qi, marketing director of Vitality Air China.

Vitality Air said its products are sold primarily to high-end clubs, nightclubs and international schools in China.
