This study was undertaken with a view to find out the causes of tobacco cultivation and its impacts on human health specially the health of the cultivators and their family members who are directly involved with growing, harvesting and processing. This study was conducted in survey research design which is a part of non- experimental quantitative research design. Two villages Gaurdaha and Chuniapara in Mirpur upazila of Kushtia district, one of the most tobacco produced districts, were selected as the study area for this study. 142 registered tobacco cultivators were selected out of 221 to conduct this study. They were selected by purposive (judgmental) sampling. Structured questionnaire survey was conducted among the cultivators to collect data. The findings of this study revealed that other crops like paddy, wheat, maize and vegetables are also proved to be profitable along with tobacco. But tobacco cultivation has secured market and significant cash flow at a time which has made the difference. Again the cultivators and their family members who are directly involved with growing, harvesting and processing have many types of health risk including GTS, respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, dermal infection and so on. But the cultivators are not aware about these health risks. Proper policy implementation should be needed to reduce the cultivation of tobacco and its impacts on the health of the cultivators and their family members.
Key words: Tobacco cultivation, Tobacco cultivators, Health risk.

Qualitative research involves collecting and analyzing non-numerical data (e.g., text, video, or audio) to understand concepts, opinions, or experiences. It can be used to gather in-depth insights into a problem or generate new ideas for research. Therefore, the qualitative research methods allow for in-depth and further probing and questioning of respondents based on their responses, where the interviewer/researcher also tries to understand their motivation and feelings. Qualitative research is multimethod in focus, involving an interpretive, naturalistic approach to its subject matter. This means that qualitative researchers study things in their natural settings, attempting to make sense of, or interpret, phenomena in terms of the meanings people bring to them. Denzin and Lincoln (1994, p. 2) Basically, there are six types of qualitative research design. Among them, phenomenological research is worth mentionable for in depth exploration of a certain phenomenon.
