Not really a problem if it's just when it's cold. It is just the choke.

A choke on a fuel injected car?
White smoke on start up is just moisture in the exhaust that's gathered while it's been sitting turning into steam. That's why it stops after a while.
As far as I know anyway.

not that i want to sound like i am being picky   but is it not just your ecu setting for cold starts in order to get your engine heat up a little faster and not actually a choke? but then again i guess its basically the smae thing

You're talking sense now mate.
As said, that's your car burning oil and is usually a sign of something pretty serious up with the car. Valve stem oil seals, piston rings and such.
