Aging, alcoholism, dementia, seizures, previous pneumonia, smoking, malnutrition and the presence of chronic illnesses such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic liver and kidney disease, congestive heart failure, diabetes and cerebrovascular disease have been identified as significant risk factors for the development of pneumonia in middle-aged or older people (2-11).
In one population based case-control study (18), a positive trend for increased risk of CAP was observed for an increase in the duration of the habit, the average number of cigarettes smoked daily, and cumulative cigarette consumption.
In the same study (18), smoking had an odds ratio of CAP of 2 for patients with any history of smoking (1.88 for current smokers and 2.14 for ex-smokers).
By suitable, successive rotation of the cap (1, 9), it is possible to stub out a smoking article (5) in the depression (2a, 10a) and then to load it into the interior of the pocket ashtray and store it away from dirt.
The orifice 1a of the cap 1 is oriented in a manner such that all orifices in the hollow body are covered by the cap.
In the first position, the orifice 1a in the cap 1 is covered by the O-ring 6a, and the orifice 2b and the depression 2a of the hollow body are sealed by the O-ring 6b and the cap 1.
