Comparing proportions between groups

I have two groups (men and women) and I know per group how many of them smoke or don't smoke (women 40 of 200; men 100 of 300). I would like to know how I can compare in R if men and women differ significantly in their smoking. However, because there are more men in the sample than women I cannot just compare the number of smokers and non-smokers in both groups, right?! (I would not really know how to do that either, to be honest :().
Read up on contingency tables, and take a look at ?chisq.test. ----- Regards, Richie. Mathematical Sciences Unit HSL
