What is your location?

White smoke at startup doesn't mean its running rich.

If you are new to the car, I suggest you find a competent local-ish rotary shop to give it the once over before you start speculating about potential problems. Plugs should be inspected and changed if necessary about every 7k miles. At least that is the schedule I tend to follow depending on how the plugs look.
