Abstract

ABSTRACT


In this study, we design deterministic mathematical model for assessing control of smoking tobacco. We implement and extend the work of O. Sharomi, A.B. Gumel (2008) by subtracting temporary quitting class and adding proportion of permanent quitting individuals to be Potential smoker with the addition of natural death rate for each class are all implement for proper control the wide spread range of smoking tobacco. We develop the smoking generation number Rs of the extended model depends on the parameter values and we found out that Rs is less than unity in which implies that the rate of smoking is very low in the public. Since the rate of smoking is very low we find control parameters which gives insight for giving up the smoking fully without other alternative (Temporary Quitting Class). By incorporate the control unit such that; U1 as Age variation for smoking tobacco and U2 as ban of smoking publically. The two control strategies or units has applied for each compartment on which shows that there is possibility for curtailing the smoking tobacco in the community.
