It's burning oil. Usually worn rings, oil sludge or carbon in the ring grooves or worn valve guides. The above answer is correct. However, excessive white smoke would indicate large amounts of water vapor in the exhaust possibly caused by a blown head gasket or cracked block. Check your oil to see if there is water in it. If there is, it will look milky on the dipstick. Another possibility My car had this same problem;and it was caused by a small black valve to the top of the engine that was cracked. Which caused the engine to suck air in. The air when mixed with heated oil you get "poof" white smoke.
