That is probably antifreeze steam. Your heater core is a small radiator used to heat your car. The engine heats the antifreeze and circulates it through the heater core. Your blower blows heat through the core (radiator) into the car, and warms you. If the core gets a small leak, it will put out steam.

Why is white smoke coming from air vents when I shunt down the cooling effect on my car AC?

White smoke coming from the air vents when you turn off the cooling effect of your car's AC system is typically caused by condensation build-up within the system. When you turn off the AC, the cold air stops flowing through the vents, causing the moisture in the system to evaporate and be released as white smoke. This is a normal occurrence and is not usually a cause for concern. However, if the smoke persists or is accompanied by unusual odors or sounds, it may indicate a problem with the AC system that requires further inspection by a professional mechanic.
