Unless you are using csh or tcsh (which I doubt), you must set it in
~/.bashrc, like this:

export EDITOR=joe >> ~/.bashrc

But I'm sure it's not exported ;)
  export -p | grep -w EDITOR
should show something like:
  declare -x EDITOR

but I guess it won't show anything in your shell.

Try this:
  export EDITOR=joe
  smart channel --edit

Using $EDITOR is very common, IMO that's sufficient.
