"Biting Finger Nails"

I bite my finger nails and I hate what they look like. I have tried to stop, but I have been biting them since i can remember. My mum used to bite her finger nails too and she thinks that I started biting mine because I saw her nite hers and thought it was what you should do. So she stopped, yet I carried on.

I dont know why I bite my nails. Is it because I am Stressed? Hungry? Anxious? Nervous? Bored? I have no idea. I want to stop. I wear fake nail, yet it seems my nails dont grow underneath the fake ones. Everytime I take the fake ones off, the moment I can, I start biting my real nails. I also sometimes bite and pull at my fake nails (I dont eat them just spit them out afterwards.... gross I know)

Does anyone know of a cure, or something that will stop me bitingmy nails? I have tried tht horrible varnish stuff that tastes gross, but you cant even eat a sandwich without tasting it.... so you got any other ideas??

thanks!

I've always found that makes it bigger. Quickly.

Nobody thought ciggies did any harm 40 years ago, doctors used to recommend them.
Who's to say what we'll discover in the future?

Personally I think using mobile phones is far more dangerous, yet you can use those in confined spaces.

A little fairness?

I actually bite the tips of my fingers, they go all horrible because they're calloused from my guitar-playing days. Nasty, but the ladies love them.

*sighs*

No, they don't.

I just did then. Actually, if you have a constant amount of tabacco on your finger nails and you don't smoke, maybe that will lead to lung cancer but the time and effort it would take in finding this to be true would just be pointless.

I bite my nails but only when i'm watching football weirdly :S

Who says?

Just stike to biting your nails. At least that won't give you lung cancer.

Nope.
Should just have a picture of the box and saying "If you smoke, you're aware of the dangers and are either giving up or dont care"

Of course, but this was how they marketed them, "back in the day". I suppose these days you'd get a superfit model smoking them...

Anybody that dresses like a cowboy looks poncy. Doesnt matter if they smoke or not.
