Burning oil at startup?

Just put my new spark plug wires on...and when I started it up the exhaust was blowing a faint blue smoke cloud out...I was misfiring for about a week on 5 cylinders because I had no choice but to drive it. Is it possible that it burnt oil because of my misfire? After a few minutes all the blue smoke went away and I haven't had it since.

Yeah nothing was contaminated at all, everything smelled fine, and looked fine.
