Nail bitings, skin pulling and cuticle biting are all associated. Many afflicted with one will also be involved the other related aspects.
When it comes to learning how to stop nail biting, if you are also a cuticle biter or skin puller, you need to get rid of the things that attract your habit. This includes hangnails and ragged cuticles. They are just begging for your attention and you know once they have it, you are going to obsess on feeling the affected area if not just immediately jumping on it with your usual biting routine, which you somehow erroneously equate with grooming your nails.
The thing you need to realize is biting, pulling and other related activities are not grooming. So anytime you attempt to take care of what might start out as a minor problem using your teeth and fingers, you are just feeding your habit and risking an escalation of the problem. That is, a minor hangnail can turn into a bloody sore or a full fledged chewing onslaught that sacrifices a few fingernails or other cuticles in the process. The once seemingly innocent activity of dislodging a hangnail can produce awful results.
If you are lucky, you might be successful and get the problem solved with no damage to live skin and no urge to keep on trimming away. But, such situations that get resolved with no outwardly apparent problems carries a serious negative impact. That is, by having had relative success, you are subsconsciously encouraged to continue your bad biting behavior.
One way to avoid such negative behavior, in fact, I believe the best way to avoid such behavior is to keep a 
cuticle trimmer with you at all times. The Tweezerman Cuticle Nipper pictured here is perfect. You can put it in your pocket or purse and have it ready to use anywhere anytime.
