Everytime you are tempted to crack them, LOOK hard at the knuckles, and how they look, decide if you want to make them bigger and more swollen. THINK about whatr you do, it's only willpower can stop you. No nicotine patch devices for knuckle crackers I'm afraid

When you crack your knuckles all you are doing is moving your joint in the fluid and it creates the "popping" sound due to dissolved carbon dioxide in the fluid which creates a bubble and pops. It is also a way to bring a feeling of relief, which is why it is so addicting. Researchers have done multiple searches on cracking knuckles and it has not been proven to cause arthritis or make your knuckles larger, although it has been proven to wear down the cartilage between knuckles, which is a cause of arthritis. It is also considered an obsessive compulsive disorder and can be a hard habit to break but I suggest wearing rings which is what I did to stop because the rings give you something else to do in boredom like spinning them on your finger.
