My corollary on this: If the wind is blowing faster than you can run, it's probably going to not let the tear gas build up too badly.
Is it time for my self-defense lecture again?
Lots of folks ask me what the best self-defense thing is to train. I always answer: track and field.
The best thing you can do to defend yourself is not be where someone can hurt you. Running away is ideal.
