What kind of smoke? Did it smell? Does your blower still work?

The system could have depresurized suddenly. That would cause condensationin the air from teh cold that looks like smoke. I take it the ac doesnt work anymore?

Sounds like the system depressurized... most likely a leak. The best way to remidy this would be to take it to a service station and have them check for the leak... They sell color additives to find leaks in a/c systems but i think it has to be charged in addition to adding them
