I could be wrong, but a buddy of mine had this problem in his KIA in the past. They found that his car was burning oil which was causing the white smoke.

Insufficient information.

Is the exhaust mostly white smoke or partial?
Does the white smoke always appear, or only at certain times like starting up or hard acceleration?
What's the mileage on the car?
Has it always had regular oil changes or has it been abused in this area?
Does the engine make any unusual or loud clattering noises?
Is performance reduced or seems to be normal?
