I don't bite my nails because I finde the feeling between the teeth disgusting. it makes me feel like the curb scene from American History X
but still, if you feel the urge to bite your nails, try to get yourself distracted by doing something that ISN'T related to chewing! (sit on your hands, squeez a ball or something like that)

Pay to get manicures, worked for me. They fix your nails up so much you don't want to damage it. It also costs money, so you don't want to fuck with it.

Most start as kids. In some cases, it goes all the way back to variations on the suckling instinct, i.e.

breast feeding / bottles > weening > thumb-sucking > nail-biting

I can imagine that it's far easier to quit smoking than to quit biting your nails. You can throw away all your cigarettes and force yourself to never buy them - but your nails are always there on your fingers.

I can confirm this works. Some brands are formulated to help your nails regrow faster. You also have to reapply it otherwise it turns yellow and looks disgusting.

perhaps there's some true to the calcium deficiency theory - reason why you'd bite your nails, to supplement your intake; suppose a child has a calcium deficiency and grows up with that habit, without improving their diet, even. it'd be tough to change.

Use nail varnish. Taste bad, gives a visual cue when you go to bite them and best of all nobody will notice how ugly your nails are because they'll be too distracted by the fact that they are fucking painted.

There additives in cigarettes for the purpose of making people addicted, such as: nicotine, and small amounts of caffein and in addition to that they add a number of chemicals that reinforces some of the properties in nicotine and makes it more addictive.

Nail biting addiction is purely psychological.

I quit a 10 cigarettes a day habit cold turkey no problem. I bite my nails though and most of the time I only realise I've done it when I've already bitten it off. I can actively avoid picking up a cigarette, I can't avoid my hands.

You touch all sorts of things during the day, right? When you're biting your nails, just think, you're putting into your mouth pretty much everything you have touched during the day. You're probably transferring all sorts of bacteria, microbes and various worms and viruses right into your mouth. Not to mention when you bite your nails, they eventually start looking real fucked up in the end and maybe even hurt for a few days cause you bit them too low. Keep those things in mind when thinking about biting. It is a nervous habit so daily exercise might help as well, like even just going for a short walk or doing some sit-ups. Another thing that will help is buying nail clippers and trimming your nails so they are too short to even bight. Also, stop fapping so much, you're depleting your energy, likely a reason you are nervous. Also, get more silicon in your diet and your nails will be tough as well, nails.
