It really depends on the engine. If its cold it will smoke more than if its warm. There are different colors of smoke also that mean different things. All diesels will smoke to some degree, even my electronic injector pump Jetta smokes a little when cold.
Can you be a little more specific in your question?

Can you still see the car behind you?
Does everyone back off from your tailend or only when you are getting on the accelerator? Have you had any calls from neighbors thanking you, or trying to schedule, for mosqito fogging? Seriously, cold or hot engine, color of smoke, how does it run, etc...

That is mostly normal, but I would do some maintenance on it like a good diesel purge and valve adjustment.
