Default Smoke from Exhuast When I Accelerate

I recently got an oil change one night and the next morning, on my way to work, I was shooting huge clouds of smoke out my exhaust. If I check my oil and there is too much oil in it, would I be burning oil? If I just drain it and replace the proper amount will my problem be fixed? I think the smoke has a blue tint to it but my friend thinks it's white. Any other way to figure out what's wrong with it.

Ahhh sucky Having too much oil "could" potentially cause it to smoke, but not billows of smoke clouds. Check the oil level to make sure it's right, otherwise Bad headgasket

It only smokes when i take off from a stop or accelerate harder. I'll check the oil level tonight. If it is too high and I drain it, will there be an issues from having it too high?
