If it has some blue in it, that usually means the valve guides are getting hard. When you shut the engine off, oil will seep past the hardened valve guides into the combustion chambers and when you start it up, cold ,the oil has to burn off. If the blue smoke last longer than a minute or two you may be looking at a different problem.

Could be piston rings, especially on a high mileage engine, valve guide seals, (that will cause a lot of smoke upon start up, the oil has leaked past the valve seals in to the combustion chamber while sitting) but the basic answer to your question is the smoke
