White smoke comes out of the Vatican when a new Pope has been chosen. Cardinals and bishops of the Catholic Church enter into what is known as a conclave to elect the new Pope through a series of ballots. While in the conclave, the Cardinals and Bishops have no contact with the outside world.
White smoke means a new Pope has been chosen. Black mean one has not been chosen.
If a vote is held in the conclave that is successful in choosing a new pope, the ballots are burned with a chemical that makes the smoke white as a signal to the outside world that a pope has elected.

When a new pope is chosen, white smoke is produced by burning the ballots and other materials used in the voting process, indicating that a new pope has been elected.

The smoke is typically enhanced with the addition of certain chemicals to achieve the desired color.
