Awful! Hungarians smoked and drank more last year than in 2017

The National Tax and Customs Administration of Hungary recently shared their latest statistics regarding the amount of fuel, gasoline, cigarettes and alcohol the Hungarian population consumed last year. The statistics also revealed the consumed quantity of each product and, unfortunately, the results are shocking and negative.

According to mfor.hu, the Hungarian population consumed more of these products last year than in 2017. The reason for this probably is that traders paid more taxes after these products than before. Moreover, tourists also played a significant part in this phenomenon in the last few years as the number of them increased rapidly across the country.

Cigarettes

According to statistics, last year, approximately 8309 million cigarettes were sold, which is a 17% growth since 2017. In 2017, 520 million cigars were consumed, but in 2018, this number increased to 561 million, which is an average growth of 7.8%.
