You can buy a solution from most chemists and stores around the globe that you put on your nails (it is clear) and it tastes absolutely disgusting so you try not to bite them.
Most people find it effective but not everybody.
Good Luck!
AnswerThere are also ways to stop biting your fingernails that you can find around the house. For example: If you are a girl, then you can paint your fingernails.You would not want to mess up your decorated nails. Another option is basically what the answer above says.

∙ 12y agoI HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. It was a very bad habit for me. What I did to stop chewing and biting my nails was I wore a few coats of nail polish on my nails for a week to two weeks, depending on the severity of the habit. If you don't like wearing nail polish, then just wear clear nail polish. By doing this, whenever you bite or chew on your nails, it will be harder to do because of the nail polish, since the nail polish will dry hard. THIS WORKS. After a few weeks you will get rid of the habit, and instead of biting or chewing on your nails, use a nail file and nail clippers to keep your nails looking good and healthy.
