| Abstrakt: | Introduction: Green tobacco sickness affects tobacco growers while handling tobacco leaves, regardless of the cultivation stage. Objectives: To characterize the sociodemographic and occupational profiles of tobacco growers with green tobacco sickness, as well as their health habits. Methods: This was a cross-sectional, descriptive study with information from a database obtained from a previous study conducted in a Southern Brazilian municipality. The data were analyzed using absolute and relative frequency. Results: We identified 8 cases of tobacco growers with green tobacco sickness, whose sociodemographic and occupational profiles and health habits were described. Conclusions: The data obtained in this study corroborate the existing literature on tobacco growers. The sociodemographic and occupational profiles and the health habits of our study participants have already been described in other studies, as well as of tobacco growers without green tobacco sickness.
