A Simple Dynamical Model For The Growth of Smoker Population

This document summarizes a research article that develops a simple dynamical model to study the growth of smoker populations. The model divides the population into potential smokers, active smokers, and quit smokers. It assumes quit smokers can relapse into smoking. The model consists of three nonlinear differential equations representing these groups. Analysis finds the number of smokers depends on three parameters: interactions between active and potential smokers, average time as a smoker, and average time as a quit smoker before relapse. These are represented by a threshold parameter R0. For R0 > 1, the model shows the active smoker population will always exist. Low interaction levels are enough to increase smoker numbers.

MODEL DINAMIK SEDERHANA UNTUK


MASALAH PENINGKATAN POPULASI

Abstract. In this article, a simple dynamical model derived from the SIR Model that
has been known in epidemiology is applied to study qualitatively the growth of smoker
population in a closed population system. The population in the system is divided into
three groups: potential smokers, active smokers, and quitted smokers. We derive the
model by assuming that the quitted smokers can relapse into active smokers. The model
consists of three nonlinear and autonomous differential equations, and is then investigated
by applying the linear stability theory. We find that the increase of a number of smokers
mainly depends on three parameters: how big the interaction between an active smoker
and a potential smoker, an average time for being a smoker, and an average time for
being a quitted smoker before relapsing into an active smoker. These three parameters
are represented by a number R0 , so called a threshold condition. For R0 > 1, we find that
the population of active smokers always exists. Results also show that low interaction is
enough to increase a number of active smokers.
