My mom is in a nursing home, and due to her health, she needs to quit smoking. So I had her try my ecig and she liked it and said she'd happily give it a shot. When I was showing it to her, a few nurses and other residents were interested in it as well. Most of the residents there that smoke desperately need to quit, but they've been doing it for so long. They just can't. I told them I'd find information so the residents and nurses and show all the families of the smokers there and see if any of them are willing to buy it for them.

Is there anywhere I can print or order pamphlets from, and whats some good information I should remember to give them?

My Mom is also in a rest home. She's 85 and has smoked for well over 65 years. She still spends a good part of her day on the patio of her room puffing away - and does NOT want to discuss eCigs or anything else related to smoking. She says she has lived this long without taking my advise, and isn't about to start now

That's like my friend's 90-something year old grandmother who refused to eat dinner at the nursing home because they wouldn't let her have a beer with it. She'd been drinking a beer with her dinner every day for nearly 80 years and she was as healthy as a horse. My friend went down there with a 6 pack of guiness and explained very carefully that her grandmother was to get 1 beer with her dinner every day. Problem solved.
