Blue smoke=burning oil, white smoke=burning water/coolant. If it was just a little bit till it warms up I would just say condensation, but if theres alot then I would check to see if your loosing coolant into the cylinders(bad head gasket,warped or cracked head).

roadrunner is right. if its white, theres something wrong with the headgasket (most likely). either way, coolant is making its way to your combustion chamber
