Second-hand smoke filters, so that smokers no longer become “smoke” producers.
According to foreign media FinSMEs It is reported that the US Philter Labs raised $ 1 million in financing and was invested by the Explorer Equity Group.

Philter Labs is a filter manufacturer, founded in 2019, headquartered in California, USA, founded by Christos Nicolaidis, to filter the smoke produced by smokers and help people stay away from the hazards of secondhand smoke .
In the world, the smoke produced by cigarettes is divided into two types: one is mainstream smoke, that is, smokers inhale into the lungs through cigarette filters. The other is second-hand smoke, which is smoke from smoldering tobacco. Studies have shown that at the same concentration, second-hand smoke is more harmful because second-hand smoke produces more carcinogens. Smokers will not only harm their own health, but also affect those around them.
Personal air filters developed by Philter Labs can filter out particulates, pollutants, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in these second-hand smoke. At present, the official website mainly has two products POCKET and PHLIP, priced at 14.99 US dollars and 29.99 US dollars. These two products can be used together with the user’s cigarette. You can directly insert the electronic cigarette into the corresponding position of PHLIP, and then the exhaled smoke will be filtered by the filter.
