Qualitative Behavior of Giving Up Smoking Models

Abstract

Smoking is a large problem in the entire world. Despite overwhelm- ing facts about the risks, smoking is still a bad habit widely spread and socially accepted. Many people start smoking during their gymnasium period. The main purpose of this paper is to determine the asymptotic behavior of a math- ematical model using for giving up smoking. Our interest here is to derive and analysis the model taking into account the occasional smokers compartment in the giving up smoking model. Analysis of this model reveals that there are four equilibria, one of them is the smoking-free and the other three correspond to presence of smoking. We also present the global stability and parameter estimates that characterize the natural history of this disease with numerical simulations.
