Smoking cessation product reimbursement
If you receive BC Public Service extended health benefits, you are eligible to be reimbursed for smoking cessation products. Your extended health benefits cover $300 per calendar year on any cessation medication or nicotine replacement therapy product – up to $1,000 lifetime.
BC Smoking Cessation Program
The BC Smoking Cessation Program helps eligible BC residents stop smoking or using other tobacco products by covering 100 percent of the cost of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) products (e.g., specific nicotine gum, lozenges, patches), or covering some of the cost of specific smoking cessation prescription drugs.
All BC residents with an active MSP card are eligible for NRT products. Access to smoking cessation prescription drugs is dependent on your PharmaCare plan.
