United Kingdom
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.

I've been vaping for nearly a decade now but I agree with getting rid of these disposables. Totally bad for the environment.
And since these are the ones that teens are said to be using in schools it might kill 2 birds with one stone.
My only worry is that once they start regulating things, they'll fuck up non disposables too somehow. Like they did with the max nicotine level and the tank capacity.
It's really confusing. I swear they all used to be reusable with refill bottles, then at some point they just changed to disposable.
Honestly, you would think it would be easy to push refillables... like that would sell just fine. My suspicion is, like ink printers, they don't want people using other liquids.
In the long run the disposable ones work out to be more expensive which means they make more profit.
But it's hard for the average consumer to notice that because it takes a while to build up the price.
It's like the difference between paying for a subscription £90 once a year, Vs paying £10 a month, for 12 months.
Obviously you are better off with the £90 option but it feels like a larger amount if you don't pay attention.
