The use of chemical weapons has been banned by international treaty, but that does not prevent some countries from using it, particularly on their own people in an attempt to control their populations.

There has also been discussion as to what chemical warfare is. Some include the use of tear gas as chemical warfare, while most just consider it as a useful crowd control device without lasting effects.
