Question White Smoke at Cold Start

I have a 95 Altima 4 CYL, and it emits some white smoke at cold start and for the first 5 minutes of driving. What is causing this? Are there easy cures? Thanks!

Usually white smoke coming out of the exhuast at start up is due to coolant entering the combustion chamber and being burned off. The cause could be a cracked head or a leaking head gasket, not easily fixed.
