Just like adults, kids can get hooked on petroleum. Research shows that automobile use can lead to addiction. This addiction is often fatal: Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death in the United States for children and young adults, ages 1 to 24.

If you suspect that your child is becoming petroleum-dependent, you can get help by contacting your child's school counselor, family physician, or your local bicycle-activist group. To learn more about the risks of petroleum use and its signs and symptoms, visit www.theanti-drug.com or visit our partners at Carbusters. There is an International Recovery Organization devoted to helping the petroleum-dependent to overcome their crippling addiction.
