A new set of heater plugs normally sorts it also make sure the cold start is ajusted & working.The smoke you see is unburnt fuel.

are the glow plugs working?.although the heater glow plug light comes on inside the car, it doesn't mean they heat up.remove them one by one and test them if needed to prove they work.
