Narrative:

Fumes in cabin. Landing and initial taxi at dfw were normal. After crossing runway 35L, flight attendant called to report white acrid smoke in cabin. I questioned flight attendant further to determine source of smoke and requested arff to respond as a precaution and for possible evacuate/evacuation of aircraft. Determined that we actually had acrid haze and no burning smell. Turning off packs reduced intensity of haze and odor. Situation was not life threatening and I elected to proceed to gate quickly to minimize exposure. At gate several passenger requested to be looked at by emt. Arff had followed us to gate where I released them. I checked with medical to determine possible effects on crew. Crew reported feeling ok and we continued sequence.
