There are no known drug interactions between nicotine replacement products and the Birth Control pill, patch, ring, or shot. However, using these instead of cigarettes may not lower the risk of blood clots with estrogen-containing birth control methods, so keep going on your quit plan until you're off nicotine altogether.
