The white smoke after start up is probably just water vapor being pushed out the exhaust from condensation. However, keep close watch over the coolant level. It's also possible you're seeing the first signs of a head gasket failure. While the while smoke is coming out the exhaust place your hand in the vapors and take a whiff. Antifreeze will smell sweet. Saying that it's doubtful it's a bad head gasket.
