The check engine code may or may not explain part or all of your smoking issues. If the check engine light comes on, it will be stored in the ECU until it is pulled or reset.
The smoking could be oil leaking into a cylinder. The symptoms described are very similar to what happened with a friend of mine. He starts the car to a huge cloud of smoke and while driving the smoke simply doesn't show up.
Check your oil level daily to make sure you aren't hurting the engine by burning oil off. Basically if the cylinder is leaking it will only get worse, but for the time being it can be driven as long as you take it easy and keep it topped with oil.
It's not really recommended, but we all know how things can be with not having a car.
Pull the code and see what that is telling you.
