It makes no difference to BATS itself
This is not true, if enough investors choose to not invest then the share price is lower because of that, which means less money to invest into new markets.

Define "enough"

The issue is more whether any major company has suffered such a critical mass of investor selling for the reason of ethical perception alone.

I don't believe this is true, the majority of people who smoke are addicts and therefore have no ability to choose whether or not to feel terrible when they don't have enough nicotine in their brains. While to a degree they may posses what we think of as free will in the main once they have become addicted free will doesn't exist. We have evolved to avoid situations which make us feel awful, lack of nicotine makes addicts feel awful.
