Why is there smoke coming out of my A/C?

Hello Acurazine family!! It's been months since i've been on here, i have missed you guys. All that means is that the TL has been good to me!!

Anyhow-my problem is with the A/C, in the past 3 months my A/C has blown out smoke twice. The smoke is not foggy its more like a steam or mist. I immediatly turn the A/C off then i'll turn it back on and its ok. What do u think the problem could be?

i have a 99 Acura TL with about 136,500 miles on it.

It's not a problem and it's totally normal. It's just water vapor and you'll tend to see it in very humid conditions.

Might be a good idea to check that the evaporator drain is clear.

Especially today. It's humid as hell in Joisey.
