Can Smoking Only Six Cigarettes In A Year Cause Any Long Term Side Effects?

I don’t have a health problem but more of a health question. I am 22 years old, and I am not a smoker, but in my life I have had probably 5 or 6 cigarettes. I haven’t smoked in about a year. I am wondering if this will have any affect on my health going forward, being that I don’t plan to ever smoke again.
