More than likely, the white smoke is steam - usually resulting from condensation, blown head gasket, or cracked cylinder head. A blown gasket or cracked head can be detected with a compression check. Hope it's just condensation from the tail pipe, which is normal in the early morning.

I'm not a mechanic / technician but if white smoke is coming out of your tailpipe with the engine warmed up it sounds like you are getting engine coolant into one or more of your engine cylinders . ( bad head gasket / warped cylinder head ) Is the coolant / antifreeze mix also going into your engine oil )
