CNS is a mixture of chloroacetophenone, chloropicrin and chloroform that is used as a chemical warfare agent.[1] CNS has the lachrymatory effects of chloroacetophenone and choking effects of chloropicrin. It has a flypaper-like odor.

CNS was used as a riot control agent, but it's no longer used now.[2]
