An overview of modelling approaches and potential solution towards an endgame of tobacco

A high number of premature mortality due to tobacco use has increased worldwide.Despite control policies being implemented to reduce premature mortality, the rate of smoking prevalence is still high.Moreover, tobacco issues become increasingly difficult since many aspects need to be considered simul...
