This is caused by water, antifreeze, or water coolant entering your block or you may have a blown out head gasket, or worse cracked block.
The answer is definitely to do with water in the exhaust pipe - If the white smoke appears primarily in the morning and you live in a high humidity climate, the answer may be as simple as - it is just condensation that has naturally collected on the inside of the exhaust system overnight and is being vaporised by the hot exhaust gasses (steam).
If not, then you will probably find that the coolant may be leaking into the exhaust system via the engine - check the coolant level to see if it has dropped and needs refilling! If it does, you will need to seek advise to correctly diagnose where the exact problem lies (The Cylinder-head gasket is the usual suspect).
Unless you have recently driven through a very deep puddle, these are about the only two answers available!

Can a bad head gasket cause white smoke to come out of the exhaust?
Heavy white smoke is usually caused when the engine burns transmission fluid, such as when the modulator valve is defective, causing transmission fluid to be sucked into the intake system. A stuck closed thermostat could cause the engine to overheat. If the engine overheated badly and repeatedly, a cylinder head could crack and allow coolant to enter the combustion camber. This condition would cause white smoke to blow out the exhaust.
