One tip that I've found that works everytime is to light a candle near
the work surface (being careful of course not to get it anywhere where
you'd accidently burn yourself).  The flame burns up the "gasses" before
they get to your nose or your eyes.  I can do some pretty strong onions
with narry a tear.
