Are you an old millennial who’s totally clueless about vapes? Well, in the wake of some recent and upcoming federal moves, former Rep. Duncan Hunter and Gen Z alike may have to forgo fruity flavored e-cigarettes forever.

The House passed a bill last week limiting the sale of flavored vape products, and all e-cigarette companies must submit applications to the FDA by May for a chance to stay in operation.

The Trump administration has been cracking down on certain types of flavored vape products, but CQ Roll Call reporter Andrew Siddons has a box full of e-cigs that are still on the market (at least for now).
