A person can try, but that gas and smoke is being dispersed by a very, very hot chemical action.
Skin exposure may cause chemical burns or induce allergic contact dermatitis, even asthma.
Kicking the canister away, using baseball bats to bat them away, in the air or ground.
I have never seen anyone cover  them with wet cloths.People who have wet cloths tend to use them on themselves.
