Nicotine is nicotine.

(That is the physically addictive drug, the component of tobacco that results in physical habituation and - when quiting is attempted - physical withdrawal symptoms.)

'Pipes, snuff, cigars, cigarettes, etc., etc,' are different modes of delivery, ... 'delivery mechanisms'.

So too is a 'nicotine patch' a delivery mechanism... but that, of course, is a different matter then the drug itself. :-)
