That its not a bad idea, imagine escape the base with the flag in the mid of smoke. This would be nice.
SMoke= awful idea. Latency wise. Even if your internet and computer are both top-notch, still causes issues

Graphics have no impact on net latency in first place. Low refresh rates cause latency, which might be caused by heavy gfx, though. Top-notch computers can easily handle huge amounts of particles and therefore smoke is not at all an issue there, given the engine makes proper use of hardware accelaration.
However, smoke grenades are still an 'awful idea', since AC's maps are pretty small and you can't see that far anyways. It would only slow down gameplay in an unpleasant way. Maybe some sort of flashbang grenade could be a nice tactical additon, while I personally don't miss this kind of features at AC really.
