To find the ratio of smokers to non-smokers, we need to divide the number of smokers by the number of non-smokers. This will give us a ratio of how many smokers are present for every non-smoker. Alternatively, if we divide the number of non-smokers by the number of smokers, we will get a ratio of how many non-smokers are present for every smoker. However, the question specifically asks for the ratio of smokers to non-smokers, so option C is the correct answer.
