The amount of money spent on tobacco and alcohol in Hungary is very high. Accordingly, respiratory diseases and the loss of life brought about by these diseases are highly prevalent, which equally holds for alcohol-related physical and mental diseases. Patterns of drug use changed a lot in the last decade. The consumption of traditional drugs (such as Heroin) fell back, but a lot of new substances have appeared (the so-called Designer drugs), representing a challenge the health care system is not prepared to face.
