Have you checked your oil? If it is low add the oil but blue smoke usally means the motor is using oil could be the rings or broken rings you will have to check the compression in the cyl.

SOURCE: thick white smoke coming from exhaust

If it looks like a James Bond movie, you have a blown headgasket

SOURCE: thick white smoke coming from exhaust

I would think this will be a blown turbo.

These are fed by a small oil pipe and if the unit overheats (due to wear) - this oil fill feed directly into either the inlet manifold - or the outlet - exhaust.
If it is spilling oil into the hot exhaust - you will get a thick white fog. You can confirm this by placing a clear glass bottle or jar in the exhaust stream - and see if it gets a thick coating of oil on it. If it evaporates - it's water, if not - or feels oily - new turbo or overhaul.

Best get is sortd sooner rather than later - as you may be able to save most of it for an overhaul rather than scrap it if badly worn.

SOURCE: White smoke is coming for rear exhaust pipe after

White smoke is usually the sign of a blown headgasket.. I would have the coolant system pressure tested before any serious damage is done.

Came to a stop and all of a sudden the car started to hesitate and when we parked it blue grayish smoke started coming out of the back end.

Blue smoke, if its coming from your exhaust pipe, is from oil burning. Most likely from the engine, so check the oil. A broken piston ring, or bad valve guides can do this.
