Is this white smoke coming during idling for extended periods? If it shows up when you're making your way through the drive through, but goes away at speed, it's likely leaky valve seals. Not sure how that would pertain to smog, but it will definitely result in smoking at idle. I'd suggest a leak down test.

If you're sure it is not oil and you are not loosing coolant, it definatley could be the cat because of the emissions thing. Mine had white smoke as well and smelled almost gassy/sulfury when my cat went. I got a brand new Pacesetter High Flow cat from ebay for about 150 I think it was.
