Biology doesn't work like that. The very first cigarette you ever smoke has a small but nonzero chance of giving you cancer. It may take quite some time for that cancer to grow to detectable size, but there is no "safe period."

Can you get lung cancer from smoking once?

Yes, you can get cancer from simply one inhale of a cigarette. Everyone has the gene that causes cancer, but not everyone's gene becomes active. Some peoples cancerous gene can trigger automatically from never smoking or living in a smokers house. All it takes is your body to trigger the gene and make it cancerous and active for you to then have cancer. So trying a cigarette for a first time or smoking for 50 years. It doesn't matter if when why or how long, anyone can get cancer.
