Why does smoke come from the tailpipe when you start the car and it gets heavier when you press on the gas?

If the smoke is white and it goes away when the car warms up it is condensation and normal. If the white smoke does not go away and smells sweet, you have an internal coolant leak. Possibly a blown head gasket. If the smoke is black, it is too much fuel and too little air in your fuel mixture, possibly a plugged air cleaner, or bad oxygen sensor or computer related problems. If the smoke is blue it is oil getting into the combustion chamber, either past the rings or the valve guides, try some high mileage oil to slow the oil loss.

It's burning oil, does this happen when you first start it or does it do it all the time ? if only when you first start it, you could have bad valve guide seals and then they need to be replaced, if it does it all the time the engine is running it may be time to rebuild the engine.
