Hesitating, hard starts, consumes alot of fuel

blown head gaskets would explain all of your issues
sorry to be the bearer of bad news but 191,000 miles is a good run if you had it since new

White smoke occasionally coming out of my Altima tail pipes.

If there is no loss of Coolant, which is a sign of Head gasket failure to the combustion area, which generates white smoke, I would recommend after 4000 miles of your mileage alone, a complete Service of Engine Oil and filter, AIR filter and Fuel filter.
An inexpensive way to find a recurring combustion problem, At 60k miles, the Spark plugs should still be good, but pull them anyway, just to confirm.

Rough start, smell gas

For the RPM's jumping up and down i would replace the throttle position sensor. If it smells like bad gas or rotten eggs these are signs that the cat. converter is going bad. For the poor gas mileage replace the fuel filter.

I have a 2003 Nissan 2.5L Altima. Out of the clear blue, yesterday when i went to start it, it was very slow in turning over, the battery is only two years old and seems to be fine. Once the car is started...

this is a battry problem you can charge the battery long a nuff to start after motor is running but you have a dead seal i would recommend wall mart best price and warrenty if you replace the battery with there 2 yr warrenty with-in the 2 yrs you will never hafe to but a nother battery for the life of the vehicle////// if this is not your problem i would say your coil pack is cracked
