More than half of those polled dismissed the Government's plans to introduce £200 on-the-spot fines for shopkeepers caught illegally selling vapes to children as too lenient.
Support for strict punishments was also very high, with 67% in favour of retailers losing their licence permanently if they are caught breaching it three times.
BAT UK is therefore supporting the public's call on the Government to enforce tougher punishments for those retailers who sell vapes to children and stock illicit products.
Only 1% of those polled are content to wait longer than two years for the scheme to be introduced, with a majority (52%) of the public wanting the licence brought in within the next three months.
