white smoke means burning coolant. possibly head gasket on its way out. when the engine is cold, take a look at the oil on your dipstick, if you see white streaks in the oil, that means there is coolant in it.

if it only smokes once in a while, just keep an eye on it, but if it starts to do it more often, i'd start planning on replacing the head gasket.
