Hmm...Never head that. I suppose the only reason for that would be that the chemical reaction that produces the smoke releases heat which could combust dry vegetation and start a fire.

This probably is a secondary issue on a battlefield, where the concealment a smoke grenade can give you can save your life, but on an exercise or training mission in peacetime, I can see why commanders would make this prohibition regarding smoke grenade use around vegetation.
