Post the emissions results , that may give a clue. Also is it petrol or Diesel? , and is it Peugeot?

Tell you what.

Tell us what car it is.

Petrol or diesel?

How old?

How many miles?

Then there's a chance we could suggest something!

First guess. It's a Prius and the battery pack is crystallised causing a massive short when it first starts up and the smoke is the crystals vaporising so it works properly again.
