The London-based tobacco company BAT has called for “more stringent” regulations on vaping, including a licensing regime similar to alcohol and cigarettes.
It also wants a ban on flavours which “uniquely” target children.
The government is already considering new regulations amid concerns that many young people are vaping.

BAT is the third-largest seller of vapes in the UK, according to market research firm NielsenIQ. It sells Rothmans and Lucky Strike cigarettes, and is the most successful of the big western tobacco companies when it comes to the UK’s booming market for disposable vapes, thought to be worth at least £3bn a year.
BAT is calling for vape sellers to be licensed, and for licences to be taken away from firms caught selling to minors. You must be 18 to legally buy vapes in the UK.
The company also wants a ban on soft drink, sweet or dessert flavours such as gummy bear or cotton candy, which it says appeal “uniquely” to the young.
BAT doesn’t sell these flavours, though they have been a factor in the success of market leader Elfbar, the number two, SKE, and other brands.
