Mucus coming in cough

Question

Asked for Male, 29 Years

Hi i am asking this question about my brother who is a smoker, i think he smoke around 10-12 cigarettes per day. From past few months he have mucus coming in his cough. I asked him to get it checked but he always denied to get it checked by a physician. My concern is this mucus looks really different. Let me try to explain how it looks like. Its like a small piece of a noodle but its clear, transparent and sticky. Please let me know could it be serious so i can force him to get it checked. TIA
