Can smoking only a couple of times cause asthma?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
2 times?: A couple of times an hour? A day? A week? A month? Please provide more information. At any rate, smoking is not good for you, so you should not do it.

Cause=no,trigger=yes: Smoking, like being around fumes, inhaling dust or campfire smoke and many other things can trigger an asthma event. Asthma is a lung condition you are likely genetically predisposed to. These exposures allow it to become evident, they don't cause it like a baseball bat causes the lump on your head.
