can taking Marijuana help me not bite my nails?

Question

Been bitting my nails all my life. I'm a pretty nervous person all around. I've tired everything to stop. I'm 24 and wish I could kick this habit. I have a feeling it's like a nervous tick. Anyone have experience or can you tell me if you smoke regularly and still bite nails?

Answer

Hey. I'm the one who put up this poll. I haven't started smoking weed again since I moved out of California. It's illegal here and have no connects. Anyway, I read the comments and stopped bitting. I bought that oil pen someone suggested... Then I put clear nail polish. This is the first time in 24 years I've stopped. I've had a huge urge but it's getting better. Someone said just keep telling yourself not to and that helped. And I got into nail polishes and junk. First time having colored nail polish on myself. And I think it looks decent since I did it myself, I'm a bit bias. Thanks for the help guys

Answer

smoking probably won’t help with that but something that has worked for me was replacing that habit with another one. Nowadays I’m constantly chewing gum & either a stress ball or something to play with. keeping my hands busy helps.
I keep a little applier on me of all times (got a 6-pack on amazon, see the pic below) and whenever i really wanna bite my nails i apply this on my cuticles. it’s a mixture of jojoba oil and vitamin e oil. This does basically the opposite of biting your nails: the oils work to make your nails grow faster and stronger, meaning less breakage and less flaky nails to mess with.
I also change my nail polish daily. Even if it looks dumb because of its length at first, it’ll start growing really quickly and look super nice in no time. (P.S. the oil still works with nail polish on.)
I recently had acrylics removed so that’s why my nails are super short right now. otherwise they’re normally about 2 centimeters longer

Answer

Smoking has no effect on my nail biting. I'm a bad nail biter, but I've found the best way for me to get over it is to paint my nails! You won't want to ruin your polish and you'll be more obsessed with filing them and making them pretty than biting them! For me, it was an anxiety / boredom thing. This has been the only way I can get past it time and time again. If this doesn't help, just think of how disgusting it is. You do so much with your hands all the time but don't always wash them. You never know what different bacteria and germs you're putting into your system.

Answer

I mean if the habit of biting your nails is related to anxiety and weed helps that for you then it may help you stop. Nail biting is one of my biggest pet peeves (no offense), but it’s due to the amount of bacteria that are under your nails, which is difficult to get rid of even with washing your hands unless done basically how medical professionals do. I just hate watching people bite them and think of all the microorganisms they’re ingesting.

Answer

I smoke daily and it does not help with my nail biting. I’ve tried everything and I cannot stop. Idk why. I hate it!

Answer

I bit my nails all my life and then got my tongue pierced and I stopped. I dont know why, I guess it’s got to do with the fact that when I’m nervous I mess with my tongue ring instead now!

Answer

I honestly just used suckers as a replacement and then I painted my nails. Every time I wanted to bite my nails I would grab a sucker instead.

Answer

just stop yourself and say no I'm not doing this. it will eventually stick

Answer

nah. i smoke, and have been through periods where i smoked daily, and i’m still an awful nail biter lol. it helps with a lot, but not that, at least not for me.

Answer
