Ummm....it is not indicated that you should do that, because of at least two reasons, one very powerful:
1. the way a nicotine patch works is by discharging this ingredient in your body, through your skin. If the patch has expired...guess what expired ingredient visits you?
2. lack of efficiency.
See for yourself:

I never use expired medicines (or alternatives). In extreme cases, I would take something which has expired only a month ago (the expiring period is always set earlier than it normally is, for safety issues).

Sure U can. It just will not be as strong as a fresh one. Nothing serious will happen to you. The patch just will not last as long giving U help.
