I'm a nail biter and I've been trying to stop for years. Self control is not the answer. Easily said by those that do not bite there nail's.
Because, I have a professional position where I make several court appearance's I keep my nails done. If I've poped a nail and my actual nail has grown I will bite it down.
I truly believe it's in nail biter's and nothing can be done it's a bad habit, but what can we do?

I'm 35 and still bite my nails. I find I go through phases where they look great and then something triggers me to start picking and biting--I found it to be anxiety related--not necessarily stress.
I found having nail scissors/nail file with me to clip the hang nails and jagged nails helps with stopping the biting. The minute you want to bite, get the nail file and file a little. I agree with other posters--once I get my nails to look good I don't bite for a long time.
I also bought a really nice (somewhat expensive) ring. I realized if I wanted to feel comfortable showing people the ring, my nails would have to look nice. That has helped a lot, too.

I use to bite my nails all the time and I would even try to dip my nails in nail polish remover so I would stop biting them because they tasted bad. Think about why you bite them...
I finally stopped because I realized that I don't like my nails and when they look bad I continue to bite them and make it worse. What worked for me is I put on acrylic and they look very pretty and i think to myself that I do not want to waste my money and break them off and I like how pretty they look so eventually I leave them alone. That has helped for me and its an idea for you.
Hope it helps!
Good luck!

I know nail biting is a result of being nervous for some people and others bite them because they are too long. Try cutting your nails instead of biting them.

They sell creams and sprays to put on your nails, that would help you to stop. The website below is an example of one. All I did to find this one was type "stop biting nails" in Yahoo search engine.

Get those fake acrylic nails - they are hard and the money you will have to pay to get them fixed will help break the habit

Self-controled. Think of something else rather than your nails
