strong gas smell

When I first crank up in the morning or after sitting for a while I get a small puff of smoke out of the exaust. I don't know what it is. It smells like gas. Also how do I lean up my car it seems to burn rich. I just got my GTA and it probably needs a good tune up.
Thanks all

i think you answered your own question-- a good tune up sounds like the first order of business.
