When a nicotine patch passes its ‘best before’ date does it become harmful or just less effective?

nicotine
I have some old patches (Niquitin) which are a few weeks past their best before date & I want to know whether there would be any health risk to me if I used them.

How long can I wear a nicotine patch before it becomes harmful to me?

nicotine
I have been wearing a patch, but not ready to go solo I have tried nicotine patches in the past as recommended, but failed to stay away from smoking, I get past the nicotine cravings, but the psychological side of it gets me all the time. Wearing a nicotin patch has really worked, but how long can I safely wear it for?

is it just the nicotine, or the METHOD of smoking that makes people addicted?

nicotine
I believe that nicotine is the prime objective for smoking, however, I’ve found that the habit of pulling the cigarette and actually blowing the smoke out of your mouth is also addicting, too. Is this true? I am thinking of trying the nicotine patch, but will I miss the method of smoking and inhaling the nicotine?

Can the nicotine patch interfere with a birth control pill?

nicotine
I was just wondering if you were currently using the birth control pill, and started using a nicotine patch (for the last couple weeks), if it could cause the effects of using a birth control pill to not work as effectively.
Or would it be just like taking the pill and being a smoker, since it’s still nicotine, only entering through the skin instead of the mouth?
