If it's a gas heater it could be a gas leak. It is probably best to get it checked out.

the first few times i use the heat-it smells-the dust in the duct system is pulling into furnace , and burning...goes away. can you describe the smell .. is it gas, forced hot air( vents / ducts ) or hot water and radiators- not likely- this info. are nedded to answer accurately...

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.
