When I quit smoking I replace it with eating shelled sunflower seeds, it was something to keep my mouth busy. Maybe you could find a healthier replacement habit?

You don't have to get long nails. I type all day so there is no way. Get dip, gel or dazzle dry. They are so pretty and you feel the difference when you touch them so you will be reminded. Dip would be really hard to bite also.
