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.

Well at least that's down from the 100% of teenasgers who smoked cigarettes that go on to start smoking.
But how are the numbers of current vapers+smokers vs old smokers? Maybe 30% of capers is comparable to old 100% of smokers since vaping is more accepted. This is an incomplete headline. Maybe the article has more hard data.
We are also ignoring the bunch of vapers that will keep vaping the rest of their life, throwing chemicals and water into your lungs is not a good thing, I bet we are gonna see long term issues of excessive vapour exposure in lungs in some years.
a quick google tells me 9% of school goers vape, and about 3% smoke. That's down from 0 vapers in the 90's and 50% of them having had a smoke (not necessarily smokers).
also, amongst the whole of the UK, vapers have just met smokers at 11% each.
