    AB: The study considers the relationship between self-esteem & smoking in youth. Research has emphasized the need for ecological perspectives on health behaviors, for example, the context & meaning of cigarette smoking in young people's lives. Recent Scottish research, utilizing a range of methodologies, has examined the peer group context & smoking. The convergence of findings is striking. It would appear that different social groupings exist within the peer  context, where these are tied to peer status & associated with distinctive lifestyle practices & dispositions, including smoking. In the case of self-esteem  and smoking the results from conventional, survey-based research have often been inconclusive, the suggestion being that global measures of self-esteem are
    insufficient, since feelings of self-esteem are domain or context specific. 7 Tables, 27 References. [
