After moving to Hollywood in 1997, Reid transitioned to movies,
landing her breakout role in 1998's The Big Lebowski.
which has gone on to become a cult favorite. Later that same year
she appeared in Cruel Intentions and Urban
Legend, each of which grossed just under $40 million in the US
and led to two sequels. Reid found her first taste of real
mainstream success when she portrayed the role of the virginal
Vickie in American Pie (1999), which grossed over $100

Following the success of American Pie 2, Reid starred
in a number of commercial and critical misfires including Josie

the youngest daughter in Robert Altman's Dr. T and the
Women, alongside Richard Gere. She returned to the small
screen as a recurring character on the NBC sitcom, Scrubs,
appearing in 11 episodes of Season 3.
The Movie Sharknado starring Tara was the surprise hit of 2013.
Because of the social media buzz, the original campy horror film
delivered a record 2.1 million total viewers on it's third airing,
which made it the most-watched encore for an original movie in Syfy
history.
"We are extremely pleased to work closely with part of Tara
Reid's management team and have her be our exclusive celebrity
representative for the new Mont Blunt E-cig line. Tara has
publically admitted to being tobacco smoker for years, and we
believe the Mont Blunt brand as the premium line is a perfect fit
for Tara. We are excited that her over 200,000 Twitter followers,
celebrity appearances, magazine and television events and our new
ad campaigns including www.TaraReid.com, will heighten the
visibility and awareness of the Mont Blunt brand," stated B.
Michael Friedman, CEO of Agritek Holdings Inc.
Tara stated, "I'm so excited to join the prestigious Mont Blunt
group and their brand. This comes at a time when I am making
lifestyle changes that are better for me and I encourage all
cigarette smokers to do the same, smoke free and live rich."
In a recent study reported by BBC news, smokers who use
e-cigarettes to quit are more likely to succeed than those who use
willpower alone or buy nicotine replacement therapies, such as
patches or gum, a study suggests. The survey of nearly 6,000
smokers found a fifth had quit with the aid of e-cigarettes. That
was 60% higher than those who did not use the devices, the study
said.
E-cigarette use has shot up in recent years. Action on Smoking
and Health estimate there are more than 2m people using them --
triple the number from two years ago. Users experience the
sensation of smoking by inhaling a vapor which contains a
concentration of nicotine.
Lead researcher Prof Robert West, one of the UK's leading
experts in this field, said: "E-cigarettes could substantially
improve public health because of their widespread appeal and the
huge health gains associated with stopping smoking." A Department
of Health spokeswoman said: "E-cigarettes are not risk free, but
they carry a lower risk to health than smoking tobacco and may help
people who want to stop smoking."
