  You sure its white smoke? Air is denser outside on a rainy day, you blow air con too cold, the air also too cold, look like steam.

  it may happen if the windows are not close all the way up, or some other reasons..... wat you can do is to switch the air con all the way to full blast and leave it on till all the white gas is gone... dun worry there is nothing wrg with it... If u are in doubt or worry tat something is wrg.... just drive your car to any petrol kios tat offer air con servicing and ask them to look into this.... But i dun think it is neccessary unless of cos the problem happen frequently.... or there is a leakage in air con gas...

  Carbon monoxide (CO) is colorless and odorless gas. so maybe the gas u talking about is not poisonous

  It means your air-con coil is dirty.
  
  You'll need to service it.Pray and hope that the coil is only dirty and not corroded.

  Dont suck the air from outside. Just switch to inner air circulation only. Then the problem "bo liao". OK
