Well, if the smoke is kind of whitish (maybe with a tinge of blue) and it happens mostly at idle then you have the classic symptoms of failing turbo oil seals. Doesn't impair performance and probably is not associated with the hesitation you are experiencing but is a bit of a aesthetic problem. To be really sure, start the car from cold in partially ventilated space (a garage with the door open for example) and let it idle. Stand outside the garage to avoid the fumes and don't rev the engine at all. After 10 minutes or so you should start to notice a light haze and the smell of oil in the air. This behaviour is pretty typical of failing turbo oil seals.
