My car has recently started blowing white smoke out the exhaust, and drags up a hill.

Hi,

White smoke usually appears from burning coolant, as a first step check the coolant level if the level is low then check the link below.

If the smoke is dark white more like blue color its from engine is burning oil, as a first step check the oil level excessive oil can enter into the combustion chamber and burn. also check the oil quality if its too old no proper viscosity.
