Narrative:

During our flight; I noticed what appears to be smoke in the cockpit. I brought it to the attention of the first officer and jumpseater and immediately followed the memory items for that situation. At the same time the flight attendant called and let us know there was smoke in the cabin also. We informed ATC of the situation. During the decent the smoke began to clear and the smell went away. The jumpseater looked through the peep hole and said the cabin was clear and the flight attendant confirmed it went away. We leveled off; run the appropriate QRH and assess the situation. I made the decision to continue after discussing it with the first officer (first officer) and the jumpseater; who was [an experienced] captain. We informed dispatch and maintenance and [continued] to our destination with no further incident except for a smell on short final and pack #2 over heat EICAS message after landing.after landing; I called maintenance and informed them of what happened. I then wrote it up in the logbook. We speculate it could have been a problem from the packs. Pack #1 was meld and only #2 working. We also briefed the crew that was taking over the airplane of the situation.
