valve seals and rings are probably shot!

3 Inspect Oil Filler Cap Loose or damaged oil drain plug
5 Inspect PCV Valve Plugged or damaged pcv valve.
6 Inspect Piston Ring Set Worn or broken piston rings.

What a turd of a car. What a bad engine.
Probably the rings are going out and oil is leaking into the combustion chamber.
That's not cheap to fix --dump it or trade it in!

That sounds normal, my daughter had one, traded it in on a Yogo :(
You might try a heavier oil, get some 50wt at a motorcycle shop

If it smokes at startup = valve seals
If it smokes durring deceleration = rings
If doesn't smoke at all = you're leaking oil while it's running.
