Only issues would be length (also area of effect), ability recovery, heal rate, and potential player abuse. If it had too high of heal rate, it would be thrown to not only provide a smokescreen (causing enemy players to miss their shots), but be spammed by newer players in order to avoid a quick death. In addition, I could see soldiers throwing it onto brains/scientists, giving them an extra advantage in close range combat. Maybe if the focus on healing came from a multi rocket or a rocket jump that could suffice, but the smokescreen could be problematic as its purpose is to disguise you and your allies so that suppressing fire can be laid down easier.
The soldier is not a support character to have this kind of skills. He is a direct attacker, so that ability would not be his.
Several times I have commented that the smoke grenade is very weak in comparison with other skills.
Maybe a sticky grenade (that when throwing it left the plants stuck to the floor without moving) or one with hypnotic smoke (that has the effect of altering the controls) would be more useful.
