It is pointless. Because if you got smoke or fire you will land much quicker then when simple decompresion. It takes just two minutes from the moment you see first smoke to fully engulfed craft according to NASA studies. In all cases checklists will call for landing as soon as possible and not practical. If you argue that fire has been extinguished and only smoke persist you have cabin dump and fresh air options which will get rid of smoke. Hope that answers this question.
