Fraser Olender, a cast member on the reality TV show Below Deck, recently shared a health scare he experienced due to 'vape poisoning,' officially known as E-cigarette or Vaping-Associated Lung Injury (EVALI). He was hospitalized in London with severe chest pains and breathing difficulties, ultimately diagnosed with coronary artery vasospasm triggered by vaping. This condition reduced blood flow to his heart, mimicking a heart attack due to oxygen deprivation. Olender is now recovering and shared his story to raise awareness about the potential dangers of vaping, emphasizing that even one person reconsidering vaping would make his experience worthwhile. The CDC warns that no tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, are safe, and vape poisoning can result from exposure to harmful chemicals and particles. Short-term effects include irritability and anxiety, while long-term effects can include lung damage and heart problems.
