But it does mean that there's a lot we don't know about a new way to consume tobacco that's becoming incredibly popular. So far, no cases have been reported in Canada.

And what happens to a young industry that's facing increasing public panic? GUEST: Carly Weeks, health reporter, The Globe and Mail
