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.

It would fuck up the environment with butts like it always has. Cigs are shit for the environment, birds eat them and die and they're everywhere. Can't wait for them to completely die out.
It's time to bring back tobacco pipes.
Pipe tobacco is amazing. It can be very complex after aging.
The average pipe smoker lives longer than the average non smoker.
Now there's a claim haha
If it's true, it's likely socioeconomic. Relatively expensive start up cost, bag or tin of pipe tobacco usually costs more than a pack of cigarettes. Tends to select for wealthier users with better healthcare.
It's not inhaled so the cancer risk is lower than cigarettes. But, yeah, it's not healthy.
