Gangjin has the second-highest rate of smoking in the province.

According to the results of a study by Chonnam National University on residents 19 and over, Gangjin county has the second-highest rate of smoking in Jeollanam-do. Jindo county's at the top with 29.6%, and Gangjin's second with 28.4%. The lowest is Shinan county with 20.7%, followed by Damyang county with 21.6% and Gwangyang with 21.9%. Jeollanam-do did have the lowest rate among the sixteen cities and provinces. This isn't exactly news---the numbers came out March 24th---so clearly I have to reevaluate the personnel at the Brian in Jeollanam-do Gangjin bureau.
