Hi,
White smoke from the exhaust is usually an indicator that coolant is being burned in the combustion chamber. Have you noticed if the engine coolant is lower than it should be?
If so, you need to check a few things that identify a bad head gasket. Here is a link that explains what to look for. Check this and let me know what you find.

Let me know what you find or if you have other questions.
Take care,
Joe
