Air Con problem

On the way home from work, my windows started to get foggy, so I turned on my air con to get rid of the fog. I put the air con on and a few minutes later, smoke started to come out of the air vent closest to me. I quickly turned off the air con. A few minuted later, I tried it again and the same thing happened. But when I turned the air con for the third time. I put the air con on high and it was okay. Has this happened to anyone before?? Should I get it checked out??

It was just fog, your A/C does the same thing as your breath does on a cold day. A/C systems are designed to remove humidity out of the air, sence your windows were fogged up it must have been very humid inside your car. Its normal.
