White "smoke" (actually steam or water vapor) on cold startup is completely normal. If it persists once the engine and exhaust system is warmed up, you may have a problem. If it disappears once the exhaust is heated (and dried) there is no cause for concern.

As for the "weird smell", that's not much to go on. Any better description? Missing any cats or ferrets?
