The municipality of Venâncio Aires and region is known in Brazil as a major tobacco producer.Due to its largescale production of tobacco plantations, many studies claim that the region is the target of excessive volumes of pesticides and various intoxications -which puts the city at the top of the rates of depression and even suicide.In addition to health problems, very little is known about the environmental situation in the region and what implications tobacco production would have on the surrounding environment.The objective of this work is to search for existing information on the social and environmental impacts of tobacco farming in the municipality of Venâncio Aires, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.The method used was that of bibliographic review, with search for data and comparisons on the subject.Some studies indicate that the population suffers from the negative impacts resulting from tobacco farming.As a result, it was noted that the city in question has little recent and satisfactory research on the topic; however, the problem of tobacco farming demands attention.Thus, more investigations are needed to deepen the socio-environmental impacts that occur in Venâncio Aires, for better clarification and the correct decision making to mitigate these problems.
