Ok, is it WHITE, or bluish/gray? A lot of people see light colored smoke and just say it's white. When it is white, it's not smoke, it's steam/condensation. If it is white when it is coming out, then you need to check your coolant, which is usually what is burning off when you see the white smoke. If the coolant is milky, you could have a crack in your sleeves. If the smoke is bluish or grayish, then you are burning oil. This could be caused by burnt piston rings, chipped pistons, etc...
Bottom line, any smoke coming out of the tailpipe when your engine is under load is not good.
