Sounds like you have a faulty fuel heater. There's smoke coming out of it 
Either that, or could be you have a seized caliper or something depending where exactly the smoke is... was it smoking when you were driving, are there any sounds?
Can you identify where exactly the smoke is coming from, does it smell like fuel, or like acrid metallic smoke?

yep a fuel burning aux heater will often kick out lots of unburnt diesel norm 30 seconds - 1 minute after starting, my erbespacher does it for about 15 seconds then clears and heats the interior to tropical conditions.... lovely, just part of the start up cycle
