Looks like your oil control rings are going. Make sure that your oil level is not too high before anything else.

If your oil level is good, and not the cause of the smoke, then you might try what I did when mine started doing the same thing. I drained off 1 1/2 to 2 quarts of oil and replaced it with Lucas heavy duty oil stabilizer. This cured about 95% of the issue for me, and the engine seems to be happier all around. Good luck...
