Yes, you cannot really compare tear gas with chlorine.

One gives you trouble breathing and is used widely against civilian demonstrants, because it is very mild - the other one - the one the german army was first to use - kills or cripples your loungs in a horrible way.

But I rather leave this debate.

P.s. I tasted some tear gas, it is certainly not nice. But thats it. It doesn't actually harm you, unless you have a precondition. Chlorine on the other hand is just pure deadly poison

I mean, it was war. Conventions are nice, but my read on both world wars nobody actually cared, they just practiced tit for tat.

The comment I was responding to made what I interpreted as a false equivalence.
