Chewing gum might help a little if you chew with your mouth open and also breathe through your mouth. You will simply disturb the gas's diffusion this way.

Will cutting a onion by candle light prevent you from crying?

you cry when cutting onions because the chemical from the onion is attracted to moisture, and so as your eyes are full of water the chemical will irritate your eyes and tear ducts. in conclusion, yes candle light MIGHT help as the flame will evaporates the moisture and yet it might NOT help as the flame cant take all of the moisture out of your eyes.
