I'd say no maybe to much oil or some sort of engine control failing.

Color of the smoke will help alot.

For the record, smoke inside the car is not normal. Your muffler shouldnt be pushing out much smoke either, and it shold only be on start up or on a colder day.

I would ask you if it smelled like burnt coolant but you probably wouldn't know. Does your car start up and idle normally?
