chilling an onion keeps in the juice and prevents it from evaporating/vaporizing as quickly. Freezing the onion actually holds it in place completely Chewing Gum is sort of a gimmick; it keeps your mouth open and breathing more than usual. This means that the onion fumes aren't all entering you nasal cavity in as much of a concentration and thus reduces the effect.

Chewing gum while peeling onions will keep you from crying.
I assume your asking "cutting onions", The simplest way I've noted is to turn on the stove fan and let it pull the air away from you as you work on cutting the onion and then wash your hands and tools used.
To avoid crying while chopping an onion, you must first remove the bottom portion of the onion. This is where the roots come out and is the place that contains tear-inducing agents. You must remove it correctly or else you'll still cry.
There are several "sketchy" methods including placing salt on the chopping board, holding a spoon or bread in your mouth, or peeling/chopping them underwater. However, once you out them into a hot pan after chopping they almost always stop affecting one's eyes anyway. -- Chill the onions before peeling/chopping ... some time in the freezer, but not necessary to freeze them completely. -- Pass the onion through a light stream of cold water from the faucet every 15-20 seconds during the surgery.
I set the onion in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes and grab a stick of gum. Both are known to be helpful and they really are. And, if the onion is really pungent and might not be good in whatever dish, you can rinse the onion after cutting it.

The volatile oils are unable to escape, so peeling and cutting are more comfortable. There is no need to freeze an onion, though; just keep them in plastic in the crisper drawer of your fridge; they won't make it smell oniony and will always be easy to cut up.
To keep a cut onion fresh, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This will help prevent the onion from absorbing other odors and keep it from drying out.
