Oh yeah, fuck the medical and care fields entirely, not to mention food preparation and hygiene.

Rather than come in aggressive, why not educate? It’s easy to forget that there are genuine needs for disposable items when you don’t encounter them every day.

No, but neither were you saying “disposables vapes shouldn’t exist altogether”, you were making an ignorant generalisation about “disposables”, and I pointed out that there is significantly more nuance to it that you seem to grasp.
Perhaps in future say what you actually mean.

I really like these disposables but I totally understand why they shouldn’t be available.

I’ve been informed that these should be treated like batteries when recycling.

Well, they do have batteries so, yeah. That’s the issue I have with them: they’re made of a finite, fairly precious and environmentally damaging material but the manufacturers specifically sell them as disposable. At least a McDonalds carton dumped on the roadside will dissolve to harmless mush in a few months, but disposable vapes won’t; they’re going to landfill, or down drains into rivers, or exploding in compactors and the manufacturers know it.

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.
