If it is a window A/C, then there is probably ponded water in the unit causing the smell. Clean it out and add a few degrees of slope to tilt the A/C towards the outside. Also check to see if the drainage hole is blocked. You may also need to clean you air filter as if blocked... moisture can soak the filter also causing a smell.
If this is a "whole house" A/C then there is probably blockage in the condensation drainage lines, clean out the line to assure adequate drainage. If you have a pump for the condensation water then add a small amount of bleach to the pump reservoir.

Why does the air coming from your home air conditioner vents smell like stale smoke but not when your heater is on in a duplex where the other family smokes?
This has much to do with how the air conditioner and the heater is vented. If the air conditioner draws its air from outside it could be picking up air / smell of smoke from the other family and then redistributing it into your home. A heater on the other had usually has a heater input vent within the house it is heating (it draws the interior air in and then heats it blowing it back out) as the air within the home will be significantly warmer than the exterior air.
