The smoke may be because you are overheating the engine. There are several causes for this. Check your fluid level in your radiator. Make sure it is full. Check your thermostat. Change it if it is weak. Check your radiator cap. This needs to be the correct one for the engine. Check all moving parts for your water system. Like the water pump, hoses and fittings.

sounds like you have a blown head gaskt or a cracked head have vehicle taken to a reputable mechanic Perform a "compression test" to see if there is internal engine damage. If you have zero compression on a couple cylinders, you have probably blown a head gasket from overheating.
