Unless that'* a really small can of 2cycle oil that sound like too much. Most are usually something like 1 can to 5 or 10 gallons of gas, I have yet to see one that is 1 to 1. Blue smoke indicates you're burning oil, so if the mixture is correct than you might have a bad piston ring or worse a bad cylinder.

i used a lawnboy a few times and it seemd to put out quite a bit of blue smoke so i jus assumed it was bc of the mixture of gas and oil
