I have had one go on a lorry I was driving in brum and believe me, it is worse than a pea soup fog.Does the engine use any oil? Does the smoke appear worse after standing overnight? If so it could be valvestem seals, but as Brian says, it is unlikely.
Yes it does but as I have said clears after a while once I have run the engine for a bit, just concerned I shall be taking it down to the National this weekend.
