Brief Answer:
Mucosal lining problem

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

I think the bad smell from your nose comes as a result of dry and damaged nasal mucosal lining.
I think you can help healing and improve symptoms by:
Reduce the amount of smoking or stop it if you can.
Irrigate nose with saline water in order to keep it clean and free from irritants.
Use steamy sink often and make steam and keep face near there in order to keep mucosal lining hydrated.
Take multivitamins especially vitamin C.

Hope I have answered the question
Let me know if I can assist you further.
