How long after you programmed did you get the "smokey" experience? A couple miles? A couple days? It's pretty unusual to run into that type of situation all of a sudden. Usually, if it's going to run badly it'll do so right after programming.

Smoke can be a number of things that is going on. Given that it seems to be related to if you have the tune uploaded, I would check for something like a leaking injector. Did you happen to smell unburned fuel? Did you happen to feel a miss?
Of course, you might have something else leaking into the exhaust causing it to smoke as well. The thing with tuners is that there are some increased temps and pressures and that might cause a leak to be more noticeable then if it was left in stock form.
