I would only be worried if it starts doing it constantly.
I think white smoke can be oil (bluish white), coolant or even the engine burning a little lean. I'd just keep an eye on it.

The first 3-5 minute warmup, the engine WILL run very rich....
Thus the white smoke. After about 30 seconds, drive it. Don't let it sit there for 5 minutes warming up as it is bad for the engine.
