Not just water. A lot of CO, CO2, particulates and NOx are also emitted, especially at lower engine temperatures.

I was referring to smoke specifically the visually imposing clouds car produce which forms our image of car emissions. Of what you listed, only particulates add to the smokiness of a modern engine and then only when its cold. Unless its broken.
