Sounds like a blown head gasket. Stop driving this car immediately and have it towed to the shop. If I'm correct, continued driving will cause major engine damage. Hopefully this has not already happened. It may be something huge like the answer before mine, but if everything else is running fine, you may have a leak or oil or water is landing on a hot part of your engine and it's burning off.
Did you just have your oil changed recently? They might have spilled some so it might just be burning off.

no its a blown head gasket, the white smoke your seeing is steam cause the the water leaking in to the combustion camber. if the smoke was black then that would mean to much fuel. if the smoke was blue that would mean there was oil getting in to the combustion camber.

There is a problem around the head in which coolant is getting into the cylinders. White smoke can almost always be attributed to a coolant in the engine problem.
