i heard if you chew gum that it negates the effect...but i've never really tried it. But you can also hold a piece of sandwich bread in your mouth and it works. better yet though. put the onions in the freezer for a good 10 to 15 mins and it will neutralize the crying

the best way to avoid crying while chopping onions is to not get emotionally attached to them

Alternatively, if you don't have a vent-a-hood, turn on the cold water and leave it running. The water will actually pull the fumes down the drain. Don't believe me? Try it.
Where do you chop? In the sink or next to it?

Chopping in the sink seems like it would raise deadlier problems than onion vapours
