General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Reckon they could do something about the 2ml limits on the tanks while they're at it?

How about requiring reusability? There is zero reason for disposables to exist and they're a huge toxic trash issue.

I honestly thought they'd already done that. There was a lot of commotion about disposables being banned last year.

Admittedly I havent seen much evidence to suggest it's actually done anything but still.

I do feel like an alien walking around looking at so many people vaping. I cannot fathom the appeal at all.

Just imagine being addicted to nicotine but not wanting to die

Tracing it back then, I don't get the appeal of cigarettes either!

Well those make you look cool, unlike vapes. 😌

Almost everyone I know who vapes doesn't even vape nicotine. They're literally just inhaling flavor juice. They've never even smoked a cigarette or nicotine vape.

I haven't checked recently but I think your experience there doesn't align with the statistics. Although for these people obviously yeah, vaping is dumb
