Is it normal to have to chew your nails?

I am an avid nailbiter and I can't stop. I've been biting my nails for several years and no matter how hard I try to stop, I can't. People just don't seem to understand that it actually is like an addiction, I can't stop!!:(
what should I do?

    theres a clear nail polish that tastes bitter so when u chew on them they taste horrible so it discourages nail biating and it will teach you to stop also try putting something else in your mouth when you have the urge such as gum, lolipop, a joint etc.

    Try gloves or gum or sunflower seeds or a chew toy anything to occupy your mouth when you start and if you can pull it off try gloves like batters gloves I have been biting my nails since I can remember I have tried EVERYTHING gloves has worked the best for me goodluck

    I'm the same way! My bf is constantly threatening he will put Frank's Red Hot sauce on my nails... if you hate spice this really sounds like it could work
