Hello all,

I am generating a scoring for a few parameters and I have the raw numbers to generate a scoring. I was the scoring to be in the same variable... Let me explain:

Ideally my new variable would be "Smoking Score" and a 0 is assigned to the values that are equal to 1 in my "smoken" variable. 1 is assigned to those who are "smokev == 1" AND "smoken == 0". Lastly, 2 would be assigned to those with "smoken == 0" and "smokev == 0"

So I am creating a variable that has scoring properties from TWO different variables. If you are an R user, is this easier in R? I hate moving my dataset back and forth and want to see if this is possible in STATA.
