The nicotine patch is possibly not safe for long-term use, but it is safe and approved for short-term use. The nicotine patch has far less risks than smoking, but it is not entirely risk free. The nicotine patch is a known carcinogen, and its probability of causing cancer might be greater than was first though. Nicotine also puts stress on the heart and raises blood pressure. Nicotine can do a lot of damage, even if it is not in the form of a cigarette.
