White smoke on initial start up (but dissapears when the engine is already at its normal operating temps) = worn out Valve Stem Seals.
White w/ Bluish smoke while driving (specially on load) = Blowby / worn out Piston Rings. (bad Turbo seals.. if the car/truck is turbocharged)
White smoke (more like a smoke machine! lolz!..) while driving = Blown Head Gasket / Cracked Cylinder Head.
Black smoke on initial start up and while driving (on Gasoline engines) = AFR's (Air & Fuel ratio) running too Rich.
Black smoke on initial start up and while driving.. specially if your on the throttle! (on Diesel engines) = somewhat NORMAL! lolz..
and then..
White smoke (more like "steam") from initial start up = is called Water Condensation. normal lang ito.. specially pag may tubig na pumapatak sa labas ng exhaust tip. doon sinasabi na "healthy" ang makina mo.
hope this helps..
aite, peace.
