I used to until I got braces. Now I just pick at them, so the same effect is achieved. I'm constantly fussing with my nails and it annoys me but I cant stop. I hate having dead skin hanging off or having the nail being uneven. Damn bad habits are evil!

I used to when I was little, and then I started again in the past couple of months because I lost my nail clipper, but I got another one so I stopped :)

you are so right.you just move the bad habits around but they still are there.If you stop smoking you eat tons of candies .
Stop watch tv put you in front of pc(good habit though:)

Its common. I used to bite my fingernails something awful. It took me a long time to stop, with a real conscious effort. It was harder to stop biting my fingernails than it was to quit smoking, by far.

There is some stuff you can buy at pharmacies or get a prescription for that can help you stop biting your nails. It tastes nasty as hell and you brush it on your fingernails every day.
