If it were my car I would make sure the cap and rotor are good. I would also pull the plugs and see if you have a lean running condition. How old is your O2 sensor?

White smoke is often the telltale indicator of water/coolant entering the combustion chamber (head gasket). But a lean running engine depending on the temp can also give off a bit of what appears to be white smoke.

A very lean engine is not good. Have you noticed any unusual higher operating temps?

Check your plugs ....
