So you elected a new pope....

 

 

You just listed every reason why it should do it. Don't worry about it unless you start loosing coolant. Also smoke for burning coolant is heavy, off white, and tends to hang around, where as smoke from condensation is more white and whispy.

keep an eye on your transmission fluid level. *I think* white smoke can mean a ruptured diaphram on the vacuum modulator. It's on the passenger side of the tranny, round, and screws into the tranny. If you pull the vacuum line off and it's moist, there's ATF in there, and it needs to be replaced.
