Narrative:
During climb out of flight the cabin filled with smoke. The #1 flight attendant notified the captain and all cabin crew were investigating the source. The #3 flight attendant stayed on phone in contact with the cockpit. The captain came back and informed us that the problem was a malfunction of the deicing system on the aircraft. He circulated the air to get the smoke out of the cabin. He then informed us that we would have to return to ord and that it would be a non emergency landing. We landed without incident and the flight was canceled.
