Hemangioma is benign.its a harmartoma which means it was due abnormal development of blood vessels.you found out it incidentally.generally in such cases no intervention is needed unless its causes symtoms such as spinal cord compression .it needs to be followup.it has nothing to do with your habits.so don't worry
