    Well, I guess tobacco is something else that causes epigenetic changes.

    Child abuse, alcohol, sugar, love, trauma, "Mild internet use", pet ownership, tanning, not getting enough sleep, etc. Basically everything.

        Wait until people figure out they can take balanced cannabinoid gummies instead of nasty shit like diclophlenic acid and Advil.

    As I understand it, epigenetic changes are your genome's response to the environment, so basically everything causes them to fluctuate on some level or another.
