Abstract: The present investigation was aimed at studying the perceived self – esteem among tobacco users and non – users adolescents with special reference to Sitamarhi district of North Bihar, India. It is because of the fact that in Bihar State, Government has banned the use of alcohol and all hard drugs, although tobacco chewing and smoking are still available in the licit market and adolescent are found to intake these soft drugs inside and outside their schools where they are studying. Thus, the present investigator had used the drug abuse questionnaire survey schedule to find out the tobacco users adolescents from different private and government schools located in and around Sitamarhi district to carry out the present piece of research work. Having surveyed the adolescents population using drug abuse questionnaire survey schedule only (n=100) tobacco users were taken as tobacco (chewing and smoking) users only. Moreover, n=100 adolescents were also randomly selected from same place as non – users, those who were not taking any type of soft drugs. The information collected through questionnaire schedule using self- esteem inventory. The data were tabulated and analyzed according to procedures of the inventory. Obtained results revealed the fact that Non – tobacco users were found more prone to higher degree of self-esteem as compared to tobacco users. Significant differences were also found between the groups of tobacco users and non – users adolescents in terms of their dimensions of self – esteem, viz., “personally perceived self” and “socially perceived self”. Finally results have been discussed in detail by giving probable reasons in the light of exigency of situations prevailing in North Bihar, India so far as drug addiction is concerned.
