It's already an issue. People have to guess based on the color of smoke after the boom to guess if it was real or not. White smoke only was probably a decoy. Black smoke was probably real. Both sides have been using these for at least months now.

I'd probably send a team around to places to setup decoys for a picture and then remove it. So if you later use the spot and get hit you maybe have some mind games to play.
