Help! I have this weird habit of smelling my finger nails…(more)?

Question

I hope this doesn't sound too strange, but I have a habit of occasionally smelling my fingernails, and I'm not exactly sure why I do it. I'm looking for advice on how to stop this behavior. Has anyone else experienced something similar, and if so, how did you manage to overcome it? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Why do you smell them? Figure that out.. 
If it’s because they smell good, who cares? lol..
If it’s because they smell funny, you should wash your hands more often and focus on washing each individual finger nail as well. 
Do you paint your nails? Maybe that will help.
If it starts to interfere with life, talk to a doctor, and they will most likely have a solution for you =)

i’ve heard of people doing that before. i’m not sure how to stop though. i was watching the OCD project and i saw someone who couldn’t stop smelling their hands and touching their face and stuff… idk if that helps haha sorry.
