today I started my car it had been sitting for a while so the battery was drained I put in on the charger for about ten minutes then used the jumpstart option on the charger to start the car when it started it made a loud noise that i had not heard before then it blew white smoked for about 5 minutes the noise was like a pop kind off like a backfire but it sounded like if it was right under me

have any of you ever experience something like that? and should I be worried next time I start it?

after it warmed up it sounded normal

If you have the stock pre-cat and cat, they might be clogged depending on age and mileage of your car, so that might have caused the backfire and smoke from burning excess fuel. If everything seems fine now, I wouldn't worry too much, but also might want to change your coolant if it hasn't been changed in a year and it's been sitting a while.
