Risk of Hep B/Hep C

I shared the same cigarette with one of my friends around 1.5 months ago. First he smoked and then I smoked from the same cigarette. Can I contract Hep B or Hep C through his saliva? Moreover what if he had bleeding lips and there is some blood exchange would there be a risk of HIV, Hep B or Hep C?
