A crowdfunding campaign for the Pule smart ashtray has been launched on Xiaomi Youpin. The smart ashtray is claimed to be capable of removing odors and purifying second-hand smoke. The product supports magnetic charging.

The setup effectively takes care of air pollution in small enclosures. The smart ashtray utilizes hydrolysis technology and has a high solubility for nicotine and other harmful substances. The smart ashtray uses water as a filter layer while a special fiber mesh that absorbs tar in removing harmful substances in smoke.

The plasma released during the process helps to decompose and precipitate small molecular compounds which are responsible for odors while also killing germs. The accessories of the Pule smart ashtray can be cleaned and reused making extended use of the product possible. The extension of the replacement cycle of these components translates to money savings and extended durability.
