Tim asked:
How can I obtain p-values based on the Incidence Rate Ratio (in stir) 
rather than the exact? 
-------------------------------------------------------------
I think that -ir- and -stir- is the only analysis in Stata where the
"exact mid-P" value is displayed.
You may use -poisson- to obtain a classical P-value and confidence
interval:
  . poisson died smoke , exposure(risktime) irr
Hope this helps
