Narrative:

We were cleared for takeoff and I (captain) called set thrust. Thrust was set by the first officer and we began the takeoff roll. The first officer's air vent was open and at around 80 kts he noticed smoke and fumes coming from his gasper that was getting thicker. He called 'abort' and I glanced over to his side; noticed the smoke; and performed the rejected takeoff procedure. I slowed the aircraft and taxied clear of the runway because there was another aircraft on short final that I wanted to make sure would not be a conflict and that he would go around.after pulling off the runway we assessed the situation to see if an evacuation would be appropriate. The flight attendants stated that there was a hazy smoke in the cabin but that it was dissipating after clearing the runway. With no EICAS indications we referenced the QRH and assessed that the source was not present anymore and the haze and smoke was clearing the cabin. We told ATC we needed no assistance and asked to taxi back to the gate. We deplaned and called mx control.
