Biting nails is not an addiction--you will not suffer withdrawal symptoms if you quit. It´s more of an obsessive/compulsive behavior. For instance, if the nail starts to shred, the nail biter usually can´t leave that nail alone until the shredding part is gone. If a hangnail starts, the nail biter will keep picking at it. A non-nail biter will just fix the problem.
