Yes, normally it will blow white or grey smoke that smells sweet. But it can be that it does not smoke if the coolant is not entering the combustion chamber. In that case the oil level will be overfull and there will normally be a grey foamy substance on the underside of the oil fill cap. Also you will be loosing coolant with no apparent leak.

Does white smoke from car exhaust mean blown head gasket?

yes it dose Answer: It Could be. If the smoke stops after the car runs for a bit, then it is only condensation that has built up in the engine or more likely, the exhaust system.
