Write a 1/2 page essay to yourself on the topic. This will help you collect your thoughts on the matter by writing down the bad effects of this.

put tabasco sauce on your fingertips, let it dry and it won't take long for you to break your nasty little disease promoting habit.

There's stuff that you can buy from the chemist to make your nails taste awful if you bite them. If that doesn't work, though, I suggest you try and grow out of this childish habit. I mean where's your self-control?

I can sorta tell from your avatar that you are a guy, but if it's any help, I paint mine to keep from biting them. I don't think that anyone can really "quit". I bite mine because using nail clippers freaks me out. hehe! Ask your friends, parents, or siblings to keep you accountable- that might keep you from doing it
