Nicotine patches

I have a question that I can't find a definitive answer to. I was given several boxes of Dr Reddy's (formerly Habitrol) nicotine patches that I never used or even opened. There is no "not for resale" fine print and the expiration date is July 2024. Would I be facing possible legal trouble if I list them? I looked at the list of what's allowed and what's not as far as medical devices and it looks like it's okay but I can't determine for certain. I have seen several sold listings, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it's allowed, it could just mean that those sellers got away with it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Nicotine patches

Oh thank you so much! I only looked at the Medical Devices list. I didn't think to look at the Tobacco policy. Thanks again!
