Take off the oil filler cap and take a peek inside the valvecover also, the color of the metal you see in there should be shiny silver if really clean, or a light brown color. If everything is black and there's sludge deposits, then the previous owner didn't change the oil very often, this can easily take a lot of life from a motor, and it's not uncommon for people to severely neglect a car.

The smoke could also be from the car running rich, which would also describe the poor running at startup.
