Risk factor list: The list of risk factors mentioned for Cluster headache in various sources includes:

* Smoking
* Alcohol

Risk factors discussion: Studies of cluster patients show that they are likely to have hazel eyes and that they tend to be heavy smokers and drinkers. Paradoxically, both nicotine, which constricts arteries, and alcohol, which dilates them, trigger cluster headaches. The exact connection between these substances and cluster attacks is not known.
