Dante's Inferno: How People Make Bad Decisions

In life people make many decisions and occasionally they make the wrong ones. When people make bad decisions they can have severe consequences. Similar to Dante’s Inferno as he travels through hell and sees all of the mistakes people have made and the punishments they are now set upon. Dante and Virgil were sent to show how people must change their ways and stop making unholy and untruthful decisions. Dante's Inferno wants people to change their ways “Virgil, in his stage way, doesn't really answer dante's question, but tells him to be brave, he also describes Hells sinners as people who have lost the good of the intellect.”(Dante's inferno canto 1). Every level of hell is full of sinful people and as they go down Daunte captures a glimpse
of all the sins people have made and their punishment. In comparison to the article `New Rules for Cigarette Makers` they discuss how choosing to smoke cigarettes can be very harmful. American Cancer Society reports “that cigarettes and the smoke they release contain over 4,000 chemicals. More than 60 of those chemicals are known to cause cancer. The FDA is also concerned about the combination of certain ingredients. These combinations may actually make tobacco even more toxic or addictive.”(Associated press). Smoking can be very harmful to your body and if one decides to smoke one is truly making a dangerous decision. In conclusion, people should be careful about the choices they make so they do not end up hurting themselves or others.
