Abstract
Loneliness has been linked to number of pathways that lead to disease. It has also been linked -to de pression and substance abuse. The present cross sectional study has been designed with the aim to find the relationship between self esteem, smoking and loneliness as well as the correlation between them. 30 subjects who were smokers and 30 non smokers were divided into 2 group comparative groups and were administered rating scales for self esteem and loneliness. The data obtained was statistically analyzed. Smokers had significantly greater scores on loneliness than non smokers (p=0.0008) while smokers showed a negative correlation with self esteem and loneliness (p=0.04). The study shows that smokers have low self esteem and greater loneliness scores but needs to be replicated in larger populations and different settings to further confirm the results.
