Check the color.
White smoke: Steam. A little when you start it up on a cold morning is normal. Having it stay there when the engine's warmed up is not, and means either a blown head gasket or cracks in the cylinder head or engine block.
Black, sooty smoke: Running too rich. A tuning problem, and on a modern car most likely to be a stuck fuel injector.
Blue, oily smoke: Burning oil. Sometimes a clogged PCV system. Usually something rather expensive, like worn valve guides or worn piston rings.
Pink fire and smoke: Very bad news - your car has fallen into the hands of the 2Fast 2Furious prop department.

Must be using oil? Have a compression test performed and that can give you a good indication as to the condition of the rings. Worn valve guides can cause some smoking. Just have it checked. May be time for a rebuild.

maybe oil....I would recommend getting it checked out by a mechanic that you trust. A Toyota should last at least 200K miles...
Oil is my first guess, though.
