What are the effects of nicotine on the environment?

nicotine
It concerns me that smoking in public places is being banned throughout the UK (and I believe in parts of the USA) but the government is considering constructing nuclear power plants which has to cause more harm!! So, my question is: What is the effect of nicotine smoke on the enviroment?

Serious answers only without bias towards or against smokers.

What effect would a nicotine patch have on a non-smokers health?

nicotine
I’m not about to start using them but am wondering how harmful (long term) and addictive using the patches would be compared to smoking the cigarettes? Is it just the act of ingesting the nicotine through the lungs that is harmful?
I have heard that nicotine is actually a poison?
Just for the record:
I am not wanting to start wearing/using them.This is solely being asked from a curiousity point of view.

How long does nicotine stay in your system to be still detectable by a saliva test?

nicotine
I recently quit smoking but I have a job interview coming up with a company that is smoke-free and do not hire smokers. So of course they test you for it. I wanted to find out if anyone knew how long nicotine stays in your system after you quit and how long is it detectable? I would appreciate any help with this.
