August 8, 2018 (San Diego) -  A trendy snack called Dragon’s Breath is sending some consumers including teenagers to the hospital with serious burns and internal injuries, the Washington Post and other media outlets report.

The Dragon’s Breath user then blows out condensed moisture that looks like smoke.
