Smoke out of vents

I have been having a problem with my Camaro, After my car warms up there is a smoke that comes out of my vents, is this from the cooling system or does it have to do with the head gaskets or heater core? The car drives out just fine and there is no noticable loss of power.

Sounds like coolant steam. Bad heater core would be my guess. If you have antifreeze in the radiator, the steam will smell sweet.
