I used to bite all of my nails, but I was able to stop, now I just bite my thumbnails, down to the quick and they bleed.

You could try Nobite. It's a nasty-tasting nail polish. My karate instructor has problems with biting his nails, and it seems to work for him.

How about lining your thumbnail with a some hot sauce, the hottest one I've heard about so far is called "a woman scorned',
everytime you chew on your thumbnails it should burn like the dickens.

Quit putting your thumbs in your mouth. There are some types of "paints" that are made for thumb sucking kids......seriously. It is "painted"on and when you put the nails near your mouth you are left with a disgusting but otherwise harmless taste in your mouth. But you have to be disciplined enough to paint it on in the first place...and by the way it is colorless and not glossy.
Good Luck!!

lol, I didn't get nails till I had all my teeth pulled. Now don't go pulling your teeth, because my daughter found a way to bite her teeth with false teeth! Still don't kow how she did it, but her excuse was, she had enough to clean and no matter how many times she cleaned them, a half hour later they were dirty again. Habits breaking is for you to do. No one can tell you how to do it. It is something that if you really want to do it, you will have to find a way to do it yourself.

Be more critical of your appearance. People see you nails and they want to barf...
... think about that for a little bit and you'll be able to stop.

put something really spicy on them everyday like cayenne pepper or chili peppers. eventually you'll get sick of the hot taste and stop

Discipline. You have to get into the habit of observing yourself and creating something in yourself that can say "no" to what your body wants to do.

try to mentally tell yourself not to and think of the consequences for the future
also, maybe put tape on your thumbs (like medical/sturdy tape, not like scotch)
good luck!
