How much white smoke?
A limited amount of whispy white smoke, on a very humid (or cold) morning, just until the engine warms up fully, is perfectly normal.
Billowing clouds of white smoke usually means a head gasket has failed. I paid $1500 to have new head gaskets installed on a V6 in a Chevy Astro van many years ago.
