Flight was delayed for smoke in cockpit prior; this scheduled flight was good until crew reached 3;000 ft. and smoke occurred again. The crew immediately requested a return to ZZZZ with ATC and [requested priority handling]. No fuel was dumped and the aircraft was returned safely to the ramp.
Dispatcher reported a new Flight Crew reported smoke in the cockpit on initial climb. Flight crew performed an air turn back to make a precautionary landing. This was a repeat discrepancy.
