How to do "post-survey weight adjustments" with SPSS?

My question is very simple: assume I have the results of a poll where my sample is made of 70 women and 30 men. 28 women claim they smoke, 18 men claim they smoke. How many smokers do I have in my population considering that my population is made of 50%
women and 50% men? Mathematically it is a quite simple exercise (50% of my population smokes). I'd like SPSS to do it for me. The button "weight" is not really helping. There are many videos on youtube about this subject, but none of them is really
replying to the question: they show how to weigh a variable but then it seems like the software is not doing anything at all and the output is nothing but a frequency table. Please be nice with me I'm new at this.
