Is it normal to have white smoke until the car gets up to temperature? Sitting with the car running at work there and noticed alot of white smoke until the car heated up.

Just sounds like water vapour to me.
Just keep a eye on your coolant bottle level

They can smoke quite a bit, as long as you are not using lots of fluids (oil/water) you should be fine

As said check fluid levels..check oil dipstick to see state of oil in sump..if its creamy then head gasket...having said that my miggy smokes in the winter with the cold air but soon goes away when engine up yo temp,

They can smoke quite a bit like a chimney, as long as you are not using lots of fluids (oil/water) you should be fine 

Fixed that for you, Tunnie.. Mine does, anyway - smokes (well, steams) like a goodun until it's had a run.
