Answers:
Though there are many ways, I will offer just one.
Go to the drug store and purchase a special nail polish. (I am sorry if you're a guy, but this willl only work for the ladies) The moment your fingers meet with your mouth a gross taste will fill your tongue. Also, keep this in mind: Biting your fingernails is scientificially proven to be dirtier than licking a public toilet seat. Think of that everytime you want to bite your nails, and see if it stops you. If your a man, I'll be fair. I will tell you to put scotch tape on the tips of your fingers.
These small tips should help you stop this habit.

My daughter used to bite her nails. We tried three things and she finally stopped. First, use a nail file to make everything nice and smooth so there are no little irritating nubs to bite. Two, you can buy bitter stuff to paint on the nails so it tastes yucky. Third, it also helped her to wear nice soft gloves at bedtime.
Once you stop, try not doing it for three weeks, then you will be cured.
I have to answer this.My mother worked in a hospital.She took me to the lab,cut off a fingernail and put it under a microscope,and made me look at it.I never put my fingers in my mouth again.That was 42 years ago.
Keep your nails nice and short. When I was a child a family friend showed me his nails. He had been biting his nails all of his life. His fingernails looked so awful that I was never tempted to bite my nails. If you bite yours when you are stressed maybe you should carry around a stress ball.
