Tobacco Cessation

If you are ready to quit smoking and need support, we have benefits for that. SLB offers employees support through the extended health care plan, and through TELUS Health's options for smoking support, including the Telephonic Smoking Cessation Program, and the Stop Smoking Centre. Check out the Provincial Quit Smoking Support Link for free smoking cessation services.

Use your extended health care plan. Unlike many other employers, SLB places no maximum on prescription smoking cessation drugs. If the time is right for you, talk to your doctor.

Reimbursement rates and maximums are dependent on the level of coverage chosen for that plan year. If you cover dependents, the maximums are per covered person. Unless stated otherwise the plan maximum will reset at the beginning of the plan year.

Smoking Cessation Services are available to you and your family through your Employee Assistance Program (EAP) with TELUS Health if you're thinking about quitting. Expert tips, information and tools will help you with:

  • Motivation in reaching your goal
  • Guidance to keep you engaged though the program
  • Options to reduce and/or stop smoking
  • New focus on health and wellness
  • New strategies and skills
  • Direction to stay smoke free
TELUS Health offers two options for helping you to stop smoking; the Telephonic Smoking Cessation Program, and the Stop Smoking Centre.

Telephonic Smoking Cessation Program
The Telephonic Smoking Cessation program has been created with a health and wellness approach in mind to support individuals on their journey to reduce and/or stop smoking. Over four telephonic sessions with a Health Coach and working through an online interactive workbook, you will find motivation, guidance, and help to develop new strategies and skills to quit smoking and remain smoke-free! Get started today to earn your certification of completion at TELUS Health One.

Stop Smoking Centre
This interactive and personalized online program is designed with six major milestones to help you quit. Convenient and secure, you can access the program online anytime, anywhere. You can also participate in an online peer support group moderated by health care professionals. Only 3% of smokers successfully kick the habit on their own, but research shows that when individuals receive support, they are four times more likely to successfully quit smoking!

Let TELUS Health help you take the first step towards a smoke-free lifestyle. For immediate assistance, contact them toll-free at 1-844-880-9142 or visit TELUS Health One.
