You can. It's

        systemctl disable smbd

To mark smbd as not to be enabled; and

        systemctl stop smbd

To stop it if its already running.

To expand on one point:

At least on jessie, it isn't, in so far as there are no .service files provided
by the samba package for smbd (they *do* provide a "samba.service" file which is
emtpy and serves the purpose to 'mask' the service name 'samba' so if you run
'systemctl start samba' nothing happens. Some backstory about why they've done
this is in http://bugs.debian.org/740942). But, jessie's systemd will run
update-rc.d on your behalf if you run 'systemctl disable/enable smbd'.
