Well i am having this huge problem with white smoke and my car, it does it when it warms up, it's like constanr whit smoke coming out, when i am moving or accelerating nothing comes out, just when at idle and at a stop.

Some people have told me it may be the valve seals, i don't know.
 
I have this same problem, just make sure you keep an eye on all your fluids so nothin goes low, w/e you're burning you don't want to run out ya know. Have you done a compression test to try and narrow it down on what it is.
 
I had the same problem with my car. It turned out to be bad valve cover gasket. Anyways, you should probably hope that's what it is, they're only about 10 dollars and no problem to replace. Also, if you take your oil cap off and you see oil puddled under it, you may want to go ahead and replace the oil cap too.
