Xiaomi Youpin recently launched a crowdfunding campaign for the new one Puerle Smart Ashtray, a smart ashtray that promises to remove odors and purify secondhand smoke with a crowdfunding price of only 199 yuan, around 25 euros.
Puerle Smart Ashtray: even the ashtray becomes smart!

As we know, secondhand smoke is one of the most serious forms of indoor air pollution, containing thousands of harmful substances such as tar, nicotine, formaldehyde and ammonium compounds. These substances not only pollute the air, but continue to harm the human body, causing various diseases. Even opening windows to ventilate is often not enough to completely eliminate these dangerous pollutants.
The Pule Smart Ashtray addresses this problem with one four-layer purification:
- Plasma generator: Releases plasma to decompose and precipitate molecular compounds such as phenols and ammonia, which produce odors in the air, and effectively kills germs.
- Composite water filter: Uses water as a filter layer, combined with a network of special fibers that can absorb tar, to effectively remove harmful substances in smoke.
- H12 high efficiency HEPA filter: Treats smaller particles and pollutants, ensuring cleaner air.
- Layer of activated carbon with high iodine value: Further absorbs harmful chemicals and odors.

One of the distinctive features of the Puerle Smart Ashtray is its hydrolysis technology, which has a high solubility for nicotine and can also dissolve harmful substances such as ammonia phenols. This makes the device particularly effective in treating cigarette smoke.
The Puerle Smart Ashtray consumables can be cleaned and reused, extending the replacement cycle and saving you money. Replacing a consumable costs only a few dollars, and with the ability to clean them, the replacement period can be extended to several months.

Finally, the ashtray features a built-in large-capacity battery with long life and uses a magnetic charging port, making it easy to plug in and unplug without worry. Additionally, the sliding cover has a hidden light strip that enhances desktop ambiance, provides low-power reminders, and offers soft lighting during night use.
