Can smoking 3-5 ciggs a day for a year cause a stroke?

Yes: Carbon monoxide in smoke competes for oxygen and has an advantage over your red blood cells. The cells in the brain get less oxygen and under conditions that decrease flow to the brain or result in spasm of a brain blood vessel you can precipitate a stroke.
