Answer

brandi,

White smoke is usually engine coolant getting into the cylinders by way of a blown head gasket, fairly common on these engines. You will need to do a compression test on the car and determine the cause of the coolant getting into the cylinders. This is not good for the engine so I would suggest running it as little as possible until you determine the cause and repair it or have it repaired.
