If it's blue smoke, it could be worn valve guides or piston rings allowing oil into the combustion chamber. If it's white smoke, could be a bad head gasket or cracked head allowing coolant into the combustion chamber. If it's black smoke, it could be some sort of fuel delivery problem allowing too much fuel into the combustion chamber. That would depend on what you mean by "smoke bad".
1. White smoke is nothing more than steam. When hydrocarbon based fuel is burned inside an internal combustion the results are carbon dioxide and water vapor. When the engine and exhaust line are cold, the water vapor precipitates into steam. If that's the "smoke" you're seeing is normal and not a problem.
3. Blue smoke is the result of damaged rings, valve stem seals or cylinder "wash down" from excessive fuel; that's when the carb or injectors deliver too much fuel and the oil film on the cylinder walls is dissolved and burns. Of course, that also indicates that you have too much oil getting past the rings, so you probably have worn rings anyway.
3. Black smoke is an indication that the engine is getting too much fuel but not enough to cause wash-down. When the hydrocarbon based fuel burns with insufficient oxygen, carbon soot is produced.
Try to figure out which type of smoke you're seeing.
