Narrative:

After takeoff [with] first officer flying; smoke in cockpit followed by report of smoke in cabin. Declared emergency and returned to land overweight at 140;000 pounds. Upon landing; smoke had dissipated and returned to gate. Aircraft out of service and departed later on inbound aircraft. I had a very experienced first officer along with another md-80 captain in the jumpseat that I had flown with as a first officer. Jumpseater was very helpful to the both of us. The flight attendants were very experienced and did their jobs as required. The first officer continued to fly while the jumpseater and I ran the checklist. On short final I took control of aircraft and made normal landing.
