description This article is the result of an academic research carried out during the data collection for an institutional research on the working conditions of tobacco farmers in Brazil. The aim of this paper is to analyze the beliefs and attitudes of tobacco producers, within the theoretical framework of sustainable development and issues involving the productive relationship between men and nature. The results are built from the perspective of quality of life of human beings, including not only economic and sociocultural aspects as well as environmental (Dias, 2009). Data collection was performed by a qualitative method, combining in-depth interviews and commented survey application. The results point to a discussion about the rural development model in the family farm in southern Brazil. Most of the families visited said that tobacco is planted by the lack of viable alternatives, showing a contradictory relationship with this activity. Analyzing the economic point of view, the cultivation of tobacco is the best option, however, if we consider the perspective of sustainability, there are problems in social and environmental terms, a fact demonstrated by the stories of health difficulties for farmers due to pesticide application.
