A lil more explicit with details, please.
Did you just get some bad gas? That would be lucky. Does it smoke only at start up? Good chance that would be valve guides. Does it smmoke all the time? Good chance that would be rings. Lets hope you just got a lil bad gas, lil brother.
grrrrrrrrrr@ typos and having to edit.

lol...must have posted that while I was answering. My earlier post would is still a worthwhile read but other things to consider would be head gasket, is the carb vented(maybe got plugged with soot), have you plulled the ac and inspected the carb?

Before I went too far trouble shooting, I'd eliminate the breather hoses that run to the air filter backing plate as the cause. Make sure there are no obstructions from the rocker boxes to the backing plate. Clean all the hoses and, if equipped, check valves by removing them and cleaning them with aerosol carb cleaner ...
