Not really. CS is banned by a technicality. An irritant gas is hard to distinguish from a lethal one and easily swapped if chemical delivery systems are already present on the battlefield.
CS is quite useless against a conventional force because all modern armies are equipped with protective masks in case the other side does use chemical or biological weapons.
