smoking in stop and go traffic

As far as I can tell no coolant leaks , Always check my oil, no white smoke on start-up good power no rough Idel ect. My car has 113000 , I live in Los Angeles when I get stuck in stop-and-go traffic when I accelerate from a stop smoke comes from the tail-pipes ? I have even seen cars back off because of this , which isn't necessarily a bad thing, lol, When traffic picks back up no white/smoke ?, my question is would a catch can for oil help ? , is this just the turbo "cooking oil" , are my piston rings bad ? Any ideas. I was planing to keep this car for a long time ...
Thank you ..
