st: Generating a Variable

Suppose I have the following data (excepting Ssmoke which I need to create):
+--------------------------------------------------------+
| Mid Sid Famid Msmoke Ssmoke |
|----------------------------------------------------------|
1. | 1 2 1 0 1 |
2. | 2 1 1 1 0 |
3. | 3 4 2 1 0 |
4. | 4 3 2 0 1 |
+--------------------------------------------------------+
Where Mid is a mother id, Sid is a sibling id, and Famid is a family
id. Msmoke indicates that the mother smoked.
What is the simplest way to create a variable "Ssmoke" that equals 1
if a sibling smoked, and 0 otherwise? (Note, there are families in
which there are more than 2 siblings.)
Thanks,
Don
