When I was younger, I used to do it and my mom kept telling me that I'd end up with arthritis there. Then one day it felt really stiff and I kept trying and trying to "pop" my neck, rolling my head side to side and suddenly it kinked up very bad and it was painful and the worst stiff neck ever. It does more harm than good.

i don't think that there is a pro... but con... as you crack your neck more and more, the cartilage that is between the vertebrae starts to get kind of pushed and starts to dissolve as you get older... the vertebrae grinds on itself as you are cracking it - this could cause arthiritis. it's not a good habit.

Cons - neck pain as you do it more often, can snap your own neck if you do it hard enough, headaches
Pros - none at all

Could wear down the discs/joints which could make it worse, especially as you get older.
