I'd suggest you switch to using media instead. Take a look at the
following tutorial -

As Ken mentioned, try media. Fog is a simpler effect that is incapable
of doing complex density changes or showing beams of light or shadows
passing through it. Media can simulate these effects, but is slower.
If you are going to be experimenting with media a lot, you might want to
try MegaPOV, which has some features for making media much easier to
experiment and work with. Specifically, the additional sampling methods
which allow you to get smooth results with low numbers of samples.

Like others have said, try media. Scattering media is specifically meant for
simulating the effect you're after, but it is very slow to render. Check out
emitting media also; you can often create a passable light beam using a
transparent cylinder/cone filled with emitting media, and it will render _much_
faster than scattering media.
