A Canadian start-up company has started selling bottles of air to Chinese following the latest smog alert in Beijing.

Vitality Air bottles the air in the Rocky Mountains and then ships the bottles from Alberta to China. 

The two entrepreneurs behind the company have actually been selling the bottled air in China for over a year, but sales have increased dramatically after officials issued a red alert that lasted three days starting on December 7. 

On their website, Moses Lam and Troy Paquette say that Vitality provides their customers “with the best and the freshest necessity of life--fresh clean air & oxygen.”

They say bottles air is “the next bottled water.”
