Narrative:

Aborted takeoff due to smoke in the cockpit. Aircraft came from maintenance hangar for first flight of the day. We accepted aircraft and proceeded with a normal operations preparation and departure. During takeoff, we experienced a cockpit slowly filling with smoke. I aborted the takeoff at approximately 100 KTS and the tower was notified. We exited the runway, at which time we received a report from the cabin that they were experiencing the cabin filling with smoke. We notified the tower that we were requesting crash fire rescue equipment support and then began running our appropriate checklists. The smoke continued to dissipate in both the cabin and cockpit. Once satisfied as to the safety of aircraft, crew and passenger, I requested crash fire rescue equipment to escort us back to the gate where aircraft was taken OTS.
