Below Deck star suffers heart attack aged 33 due to 'vape poisoning'
Summary
Below Deck star Fraser Olender revealed he recently experienced a heart attack caused by “vape poisoning,” also known as E-cigarette or Vaping-Associated Lung Injury (EVALI). Olender shared his experience on Instagram, detailing severe chest pains and breathing difficulties that led to a week-long hospital stay in London. He emphasized the seriousness of the incident, stating he “could have died” and urging others to quit vaping immediately, citing a lack of understanding regarding the long-term health risks. According to the Cleveland Clinic, EVALI is a serious inflammatory condition that damages the lungs, though the specific components causing inflammation remain unknown. Olender, who made history as the first male Chief Steward on Below Deck, hopes his experience will encourage others to prioritize their health.
