To some extent yeh it is bad, it depends how much you do it.
From what I have been told it is where your synovial fluid which surrounds your joints to aid movement goes to the opposite side of your joint.
However, when I just looked on wikipedia it said some other thoughts of what the noise can be caused by.
Either way, in the long run constant cracking could cause arthritis and other problems with the joints but if you don't do it frequently over a long period of time you shouldn't do too much damage.
No its just air and gases in there that you release when you pull on them and thats what makes the popping noise
