IntroductionMalawi, a landlocked nation in Southeast Africa, is known for its lush landscapes and vibrant culture. However, a darker side lurks beneath this idyllic image. The Malawian economy is heavily reliant on tobacco farming, a practice that exposes farmers to a multitude of health risks, particularly respiratory illnesses. This investigation delves into the silent suffering of Malawi's tobacco farmers, exploring the prevalence of respiratory diseases, their connection to tobacco farming, and potential solutions to mitigate this public health crisis.The Burden of Tobacco FarmingTobacco cultivation is a labor-intensive process.
