As Kromm said, this "knightly" thing is very idealistic. If it's a tactic or weapon that works, I don't see why wouldn't they make use of it, like guns.
If "poison" part bothers, maybe alchemical grenades like Alchemist's Fire might sound better if available.

Even if he were, I don't think the "Poor Peasant" would be considered noble and chivalrous.
