Pulmonologist 's  Response
If you have smoked for 27 years then it would be advisable to undergo lung function test to assess you lung capacity and if smoking has reduced it, which is the cause for your cough and mucus. Also it will help to put you on treatment . You might be having a allergic component as well. Consult a pulmonologist for the same.
