You can try the over-the-counter polishes they have. These polishes taste nasty so when you begin to start biting your nails you immediately stop.
Or get your nails professionally manicured. You'll love the way they look so much that you won't want to ruin them by biting.

I had this problem for many years. I finally figured out that nearly all the biting was happening while sitting at my desk at work.
I now keep a nail clipper in my desk drawer. When I feel something jagged I just trim it on the spot. You'd be surprised that you no longer have an interest in biting nails if they are smooth. I've also found I get less hangnails now too.
Good luck and thanks for asking such a personal and potentially embarrassing question!

If you can visualize the thousands of germs imbedded under your nails that are crawling around, that will undoubtedly be in your mouth after you bite them, you may stop.
If that visual doesn't work, try some hot pepper spray.

rub ginger on your fingers--feels weird but worked like a charm for me. also i heard getting a really good manicure (a professional one) will prevent you from spoiling your neat nails. if you don't like your nails long, then just have them leave a little trim of your nail at the ends (instead of claws or talons)

You can either get fake nails or buy that nail polish that tastes nasty.

put something like hotsauce or soap in your nails, it tastes nasty...then you might not want to do it so bad, just don't think about doing it. keep your hands busy...
