It could. It's all about the quality of the brand.
I've had engines that could smoke a beehive, put in a better oil (Rotella in this case, that's what sold me on Rotella), and they quit smoking.
What brand and weight of oil did you put in it?
Is the PCV valve in good shape?
How many miles on the engine?
What is the color of the smoke? I assume it is blue?
Does the engine use any oil, even if it isn't smoking?
Edit: Also, have you checked your crankcase breather filter? A plugged filter will cause your engine to burn oil. It will be on the valve cover that doesn't have the PCV valve.
