All the time, some of the time, only under load, only when the engine is cold, warm, only after an oil change, only when going uphill with a dog in the back seat? Details..

No one is being negative, we just need more details to help narrow down the type of smoke and why the engine might be smoking. The three common types are fuel smoke, oil smoke, and coolant smoke (smoke and steam actually), so color and smell are important. Nighttime isn't going to tell you much.
