White smoke, black smoke? On pretty cold startups you're likely to run into some white smoke. On other startups, if you've got a lot of fuel (injectors, hot chip, etc.) you'll see a puff of black, but that's it.

Yea no smoke on startup is a good thing - other than with big fuel mods like Ryan said - smoke would mean problems....
