What color is the smoke? I guess a little white smoke is ok on start up. As for the idle, it's higher when cold, maybe 1200-1500. 750-900 after warming up.

that means oil

your oil seals are going out, if you are using 10-30, you might want to switch to 20-50, but don't worry you probably still have a go 50-60k+ left on the engine.

when i started reading the post, i got confused and thought i was in the lounge, and i just remembered "help me" from the title, and then i read, "i just got back from the heat transplant" and i was like "uh ohhhhhhh"

It's normal if it's just a few puffs. Check this link out:

After you drive it around for about 10-15 minutes, is the idle still at 1200?

Until my car is warm, the idle is around 1100-1200. Once it's warmed up, it's about 750.
