Where did the OP say they’ve done nothing? Isn’t it entirely possible they’ve said how they feel about it, and their partner decided not to listen to them for whatever reason?

I had a partner who smoked and continually encouraged them to quit. It took years. Pathological behaviors are hard to break.

OP's inaction is implicit, elsewise they would have attempted to explain what efforts have been attempted to resolve the issue.

As is the generally accepted method of writing comments around here.

Absence of further explanation is invitation of discuss. So here we are.

That's absolute nonsense. There's no reason for OP to disclose that information in relation to the post they made. They were just posting a personal experience, not looking for anyone's advice.

Do you mean to imply of all the many people who frequent this site, one should expect to receive only replies that conform to your beliefs, or your preferred decorums?

That doesn't sound like an argument anyone would intentionally make.
