You have smoked twice, but only had one cigarette.

It depends on what you define as smoking.
When you take a medical history, the count is based on the number of cigarettes per day over a period of years, If you smoked 20 cigarettes a day for a year, for example, that would a one pack/year history. For ten years, you'd have a 10 pack/year history and so on. Had it been only 10 per day, you'd have had a 1/2 pack year and a 5 pack/year history, respectively. So for history of exposure, the total number would be what counted.
But if you mean instances of smoking, you'd count the number of times you actually light up, whether the same or a different cigarette, and some things about smoking the same cigarette in sections could actually be more harmful to you for several reasons.
For one, smoking paralyzes the tiny cilia that act as little brooms to sweep out impurities in your respiratory tissues for about a hour, If you just smoked the whole thing, an hour later your lungs and respiratory passages could again start cleaning out harmful things. If you only took a puff or two every 30 minutes for several hours, the hazard would be continuous over that time.
And there is more tar and nicotine the further into a cigarette you smoke, so the last part is worse than the first.
Of course, all smoking is harmful and addictive, so instead of splitting hairs over this, the best thing to do would be to quit.

Once. Actually, I'd say less than once if that is possible because there is a break in between puffs and because evertime you relight it, you are burning it quicker than you would if you only smoked it once.

You didn't finish it, it would still be the same ONE.
