I assume that the smoke you experience hasn't burned your house down yet. The vapor that appears about 12" from the a/c is cold air from the air conditioner meeting the warm air in the room it is cooling, and the cold condenses water vapor out of the hot air, just like a cloud. So it may be steam you're seeing -- not smoke. It should go away after the room cools down a little. If this is not the case, and it really is smoke in your room, then you need to turn off the air conditioner, then unplug it, and call a certified a/c technician. It's possible that someone may have overcharged the freon in that air conditioner.

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.
