If it is a push mower there are only a couple things that will cause the mower to smoke. 1) The rings are worn and need replaced. This lets oil seep past the rings and burns the oil in the cylinder. This will cause a white smoke. (this is probably the most common cause for engines smoking) 2) The carburetor is putting too much gas in the engine. This will cause the engine to run rich and make a black smoke. 3) There is an external oil or gas leak that is leaking onto the motor and burning from the heat of the engine. If it is a riding mower there are many more things that could cause it to smoke.

A simple way to extend the life of a lawn mower is to keep it clean and maintained. After mowing, remove debris and grass from the outside of the mower, which can cause rust from moisture, and be sure to wipe up any oil or gas spills off of the mower, which can cause damage to the finish on the mower. Check the wheels and clear these of grass as well. Be sure to keep debris from getting into the gas tank so that the motor always runs properly.
You should try putting a new air filter. If it is dirty at all it won't let the proper amount of gas get to the engine. Which wil cause the mower to cut out and have trouble starting.
