Sounds like your Head Gasket has gone bad, provided that smoke is coming from your exhaust. Replacing the Head Gasket is a major fix and should only be taken on by a more experienced person...
A way you can check is to open the cap on your radiator and start your car, after your car warms up and the thermostat opens the coolant level in the radiator should change. if you look in the radiator and see bubbles that's a problem and your head gaskets are bad. those bubbles are exhaust fumes that have leaked into the coolant system due to a bad head gasket.
If the smoke is coming from you engine compartment you could just have a leek in your coolant system and the coolant (anti freeze) is dripping on something hot and evaporating causing the smoke.
