The passenger occupying seat X3; throughout boarding; taxi; takeoff; most of the flight; as well as descent; final descent; landing and taxi in; was not wearing a mask.  I asked him numerous times to put on his mask.  He avoided complying by having a bag of apples slices next to him and every few minutes or two putting one into his mouth and slowly chewing it.  So technically; he was eating; as well as occasionally coughing; throughout the majority of the flight.  After making one final plea; telling him that he was making me very uncomfortable and to please put on his mask; and his insistence that he was eating; I opted to occupy the middle seat; in row X; (seat 4) for landing; as to not have to sit within 6 feet of this passenger who was very obviously using loopholes to not comply with airlines mask policy.  I informed the A Flight Attendant prior to being seated for landing that I would not be sitting in my assigned seat; and as we were on final descent when I made this decision; it was too late contact the flight deck to request an Ops Supervisor to meet the aircraft.
Flight Attendant reported a passenger was not complying with the face mask policy.
