According to a report in the Hungarian media, the man broke into a local pub and helped himself to a glass of vodka and a bottle of beer.

He then placed a bottle of vodka and a beer into a bag. However, he was so tired that he fell asleep before he left the bar.

When the owner of the pub arrived the next morning, he saw the man lying on the floor. Police had no problem arresting the man.

Many people who smoke cigarettes have a difficult time stopping.

Nevertheless, smoking is a very dangerous thing to do.

Smokers have a much higher chance of getting serious illnesses — like cancer and heart disease — than non-smokers.

Smoking can be hard to stop because cigarettes contain nicotine, which is very addictive.

Although it is not easy to quit smoking, millions of people have done so and have gone on to live much healthier lives.
