How can I stop chewing paper?

I've been addicted to chewing newsprint for about 8 years now. I don't eat the ink, just the margins, and I've never been sick from it but I'm sure it can't be good for you. It's also wearing the enamel from my teeth making them super-sensitive and causing red spots on my tongue from the rough texture. I've tried and tried to quit but it's as strong of an addiction as smoking, only worse because paper is free and all around me since I work for the campus newspaper. Everytime I smell paper, I have to chew some. What can I do?
