Narrative:
After we took off, flight attendants still on the jump seats during climb, I noticed a haze through the cabin and a smell. #1 flight attendant called the captain. He called the tower and he told us to prepare for landing. The smoke went away before we landed. No one knew what really happened and I was not given any further reasoning for the smoke, other than it could have been from the deicing in den that could have been in the air conditioning.
