My tounge has cracks along the middle and on the sides, they dont hurt and dont cause any discomfort or anything.
I dont smoke, and im in good health, just always wondered why.

You probably have what is called a fissured tongue. Just a variation or normal, nothing to worry about. You probably might collect more bacteria and debris in the "cracks", so make sure you brush your tongue twice a day. Hope this helps.
Here's a couple pictures of what a fissured tongue looks like:

normal=many many many many many different size/shapes/blah blah blah. It's probably normal. Just like hairy tongues are normal. If you're worried, just Ask your dentist the next time you have a check up.
