Abstract
A drug addiction process in which individuals in a closed population can become addicts or pushers is modelled. Expressions for the state probabilities and factorial moments are obtained. A generalized model is also developed. This generalized drug addiction process can be viewed as a particular case of what may be called a competing death process.
