Just make up your mind and sit on your hands every time they come up to your mouth! Worked for me! :)

I had the same problem.Here are some suggestions
~*Try painting your nails and getting a really nice manicure so every time you reach up to bite your nails,you will see your pretty nails.(not reccomended if you bite them often)
~*There is a special liquid that you apply on your nails.Its safe to drink but it smells and tastes HORRIBLE and I mean HORRIBLE.I'm not sure what the product is called but you can search it up on the computer I'll try and find you a source for it.
~*Nail polish remover its really strong and its full of acid but its defintley NOT safe to drink.
~*Hot sauce on your nails however if your nails are currently suoer short I don't recommend doing that because the hot sauce can go inside and it will hurt.
Hopefully this link will help.Look for it in the health/care or maybe cosmetic section of your local superstore.You could also look for something similar.
Good luck!

Try - NO BITE - it worked for my kids - the stuff goes on like a polish, but is clear and really really nasty tasting. Good luck!!
You could also take to a beautician - they can tell you all about the microscopic bugs that live under your nails - thinking about that would "cure" me -- ewww

think about something horrible that will happen if you bite your nails.
I just stopped all of a sudden when my mother said my nails will lose its shape then i cut then with the nailcutter before i could bite them and my teeth could not bite off my nails. So i stopped....
eventually.

Like everyone says there is a nail polish. If that doesn't work, rub those tiny chili peppers on your nails...

i think that if you set your mind to it or have someone with you slap you when you bite them that might also work also you could try doing something like keeping jaw breakers and bitingthouse instead of ur nails that might work good luck

After you bite your nails, smell them. The smell should discourage you.
