If it is white "smoke" then it is probably not smoke at all but only water vapour that is being cooled as it enters the cold air outside the house. It is nothing to worry about as long the heating system is working normally and also as long as you are having the heating system serviced every year by a licensed HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) engineer.
Black or blue smoke coming out is another matter altogether and could indicate a dangerous fault in the system. If you see that kind of smoke coming out it is time to call a licensed HVAC engineer to inspect the system and advise you what should be done.

What is hvac system?
First and foremost, HVAC stands for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning. This system provides heating and cooling to residential and commercial buildings. You can find HVAC systems anywhere from single-family homes to submarines where they provide the means for environmental comfort. Becoming more and more popular in new construction, these systems use fresh air from outdoors to provide high indoor air quality. The V in HVAC, or ventilation, is the process of replacing or exchanging air within a space. This provides a better quality of air indoors and involves the removal of moisture, smoke, odors, heat, dust, airborne bacteria, carbon dioxide, and other gases as well as temperature control and oxygen replenishment.
How do you detect a crack heat exchanger in a furnace?
The most comon way to detect a crack in a heat exchanger is with a visual inspection, removal of the burner assembly and the use of a mirror and flash light. Or a smoke bomb test. A special little smoke bomb is placed in the burner area with the burners OFF. The blower is runnig and you light the smoke bomb, the smoke will draft up the flue vent or if a crack or rust hole is present then the smoke will get sucked into the air stream and come out of the duct work. Other than that using a carbon monoxide detector to see what the CO levels of the furnace are and comparing them to the supply air of the furnace to verify that there is no CO present in the air stream. The best and most accurate way is to contact a local Heating and Air Conditioning specialist or your local gas company should come out and perform a CO test on the furnace. Good Luck and God BLess
