often caused by jammed caliper that causing your brake pad sticking in the rotor and heat, or if you have change your pad recently  and don't lubricate nut before reinstalling causing the caliper won't move easily

The first thing that comes to mind is a brake fluid leak. Brake fluid will smoke if it drips on to the brake pad and rotor. Are your brakes still good and firm when you press on the pedal? If not, thren you have a brake hose or caliper leaking fluid. You will need to fix it ASAP before you run out of brake fluid and lose your car's ability to stop.

The second thing could be the brake caliper is not releasing when you take your foot off of the brake. You would have to replace it if that is the problem. 

A less likely problem could be a wheel bearing that is damaged and needs to be replaced or possibley just greased. I would guess that it is most likely a brake problem, though.
