Tips to stop the tears from cutting an onion

I went through several tips and found most to be silly
old wives tales like this one for example, put a match in your
mouth while cutting an onion.
How is that suppose to work??
Here are a few tips that i tried that actually did.
-Peel the onion and put it in the freezer for 10 minutes before cutting
-Put white vinegar on the chopping block to neutralize chemicals
- Use a very sharp knife this slices the cells in the onion and does not crush the cells causing the mist that gets in your eyes making them burn and tear up. (if you can't shave with the knife it's not sharp enough
