If you smoke at all then YES! But honestly that is very low and your lungs will be able to cope with that okays but there are no guarantees. One leads to two which leads to many more than 3 though!

Your chances of getting cancer remain about the same (~ 1 in 3 to 1 in 5), what CHANGES is that you greatly improve the probability that it will be lung, mouth or bladder cancer....of course if you are drinking enough alcohol to "slip up" and smoke anyway on a regular basis, your liver or pancreas (or throat) will probably develop cancer first anyway, so why worry about your lungs?

Not much but I know a way to smoke everyday without cancer. Electronic cigarettes which contain no chemicals just water vapor and a little nicotine are cheep er then normal ones and healthier. Email ButtFree52@yahoo.com for more information

3 cogs is nothing. Even 3 cogs a day isn't much.

People who live in big cities get far pollution and chemicals in their lungs every day.

Good way to make a joke of smokers, 3 cogs a year.
You have a risk of non smoker, and you also hurt your mouth and yourself by having 3cogs a year.
