Children crowded around the driver’s side of a Georgia State Patrol car Wednesday morning as Trooper First Class Rich Fishel warned them of the dangers of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs.
“Alcohol is a drug, and it is the most abused drug,” Fischel told the school children.
He told them how people will drink alcohol and get behind the wheel then end up in car crashes.
“Bad things happen,” he warned the children.
He also stressed how the children should never start smoking as he told them about the addictive component in cigarettes — nicotine.
“It is the most addictive drug. It is the hardest thing to stop once you start,” he said.
