Narrative:
Upon takeoff and climb, 'bluish' smoke began filling the cabin. I phoned #1 flight attendant to see if she had smoke and she agreed or said yes and then she called cockpit. We then landed back at pbi in 6 mins. Captain said later it was hydraulic leak that sprayed on top of air conditioning unit that caused smoke.
