Abstract
•We consider a fractional extension of smoking model.•An iterative method is applied to obtain the solution of model.•Stability of proposed method is also discussed.•Numerical results are presented graphically.•Effect of fractional order on different kind of smokers is analysed.
Smoking is a very challenging problem the world is facing every day. It contributes to deaths and major health problems to millions of people every year around the world. A lot of work has been devoted to study how to minimize smoking in the society. Here we study non-integer order smoking model using an iterative scheme which is combination of discretization of domain and short memory principle. We will also discuss stability of the proposed model and used iterative scheme. CPU time is listed in tabular to show the efficiency and figures are used to show behaviour of solution in long time. The proposed technique has high accuracy and low computational cost. Using figures fractional time behaviour of solution is also plotted.
