I think we kinda have functionality like this already with the way patches work. You can make any chemical be absorbed through the skin via chemical patches from the chemmaster, but if the chemical isn't on the medical whitelist it takes time for someone else to apply it to you. It's just that most people don't do it that way because pills do the same thing, carry more reagents, and deliver their dose instantly.
The only thing I think your suggestion might significantly add is if it works in chemsmoke. Except that there's a reason why most chems in chemsmoke don't work like sarin... they'd get pretty obnoxious if they all acted like sarin and you couldn't counter them with just a mask + internals. There are plenty of obnoxious chemsmokes already without making them even stronger.
In short, I'm not exactly sure what your suggestion really adds, or if it adds something that non-chemnerds will really want to deal with.
