I; the FA2; noticed smoky haze through light in cabin around first class. Delayed calling cockpit on boarding because I wasn't sure it was anything or just light coming in through windows. Got a little worse and decided to call cockpit though still unclear if I was seeing anything. Then it got progressively worse and spread throughout aircraft until it was very noticeable. All were deplaned. Maybe about 25 minutes later; the cockpit suggested it might have been fluid in air ducts though was not diagnosed officially. Very little odor to me if at all but I have poor senses in that area. This all happened about the time of departure and I called cockpit to suggest I might be seeing haze in cabin and not to back away from the gate. As it got worse; captain could tell it was haze/smoke filtering through cabin and called the mechanics for further advice and then when it got worse; informed passengers to deplane. Aircraft taken out of service.My symptoms: slight headache yesterday; taste in mouth of something; and almost a need to take oxygen and replenish my body of good oxygen. Today; a lot more fatigue experienced throughout the day and slight dizziness at times.
