I have a similar problem, and mine's a halogen cooktop and I know it's clean (as are my pans).
I know any time I panfry things, especially if it's in butter rather than oil, I get heaps of smoke. (I get a lot less if it's something where I can afford to cook it on a lower heat; butter on a high heat is terrible for smoke, I find.)
Could it be ventilation? Thing is, I recently had my kitchen renovated and it has less air flow than it used to, and I'm really noticing the difference. A simple lack of ventilation might be the problem?
