white,,, as in pure white?
or blue white..... difference could mean big trouble or small.
white white,,,, usually means water in the mix... heads, the manifold, block,,,,,etc.....
blue white would be an oil burning issue..... valves, rings, ect...

white smoke is the product of oil burning and if its coming out of the exhaust in small amounts that's OK your engine might need a little heavier duty maintenance but if its a lot then its either cold out and that is the exhaust in the air or your engine's rings around the piston that keep oil out of the cylinder are cracked or just gone.

OMG it's idiot night.
WHITE SMOKE IS WATER.
BLUE SMOKE IS OIL.
BLACK SMOKE IS UNBURNED FUEL.
now next time your car overheats you'll pull over and turn it off. Instead of warping your head causing the gasket to leak.

corn_whole_leo is right about the smoke. it sounds like heads and/or intake gasket needs replacing. when u do this clean your oxy. sensors or u will still have problems

what time of the day is the smoke coming out? is it early morning or night? does it stop, is it on-going?

I don't know a whole lot about cars, but it sounds like you are burning oil.

Oil. Worst likely case: you may have a blown head gasket.

white smoke is coolant, blue smoke is oil.
