I used to do this on my tractors to determine if it was rings or valve seals.
Remove spark plug and take a compression check. Note the pressure.
Add maybe a Tablespoon of oil to the cylinder through the sparkplug hole.
Take another check.
If the compression raises a large amount its rings.
If it only raises a small amount or none at all its valve seals.

Might be able to see how much blowbye you have from the crankcase vent.
If the smoking goes away I would lean towards valve seals.
