These are termed cervicogenic headaches.

Glare from your computer screen or other devices can trigger headaches.

Some medications can have a side effect of headaches.

Even if you are not a smoker yourself, being in the vicinity of a smoker can set off a headache.
Weather Changes
Temperature and air pressure changes can cause headaches for some.
