Dear Tastauhiko,
I apologize for the late reply. You asked in follow-up:

e.g. make analysis only among subjects who are smokers (smoke==1) at the
time of the baseline(_t0==0).
         * stcox Exposure Covariate1 Covariate2 if smoke==1 ??
e.g. make analysis only among subjects who are smokers at the time of the
endpoint.
         * stcox Exposure Covariate1 Covariate2 if smoke==1 ??


Since you want to analyze separately for smoking at baseline and at the end of follow-up, it would be better if you had separate "smoke" variables for each measurement point. So following your syntax above:

* select only those who were smokers at baseline:
. stcox Exposure Covariate1 Covariate2 if smoke_base==1

* select only those who were smokers at end of follow-up:
. stcox Exposure Covariate1 Covariate2 if smoke_end==1

* include both as variables:
. stcox Exposure Covariate1 Covariate2 smoke_base smoke_end

Michael
