Is it only on the first start up of the day? Or is it consistently puffing white smoke.. like from start up and throughout your drive? Get worse with hard acceleration?
How's your coolant level holding up? Adding any lately, or does it stay full?

No, it's usually the sign of water/coolant in the combustion chamber. Either a blown head gasket or a cracked head. Unfortunately, the latter is not at all uncommon.
Welcome to the forum. Yes, likely coolant smoke. Using coolant? Pressure test cooling system. Remove plugs to look for deposits and while they are ALL out, do a compression test.
