First off- Sanji is a NUT about food. Like, to the point of not fighting with his hands, to keep them clean for cooking. Someone like that wouldn't dangle an ashy stick of flavour-killing carcinogens over his life's work, or hold a habit that's quite so pungent as to wreath him in a cloud of bad smells that, once again, can GET IN THE FOOD.
Second- flavour-killing carcinogens. Sanji is a NUT ABOUT FOOD. A lollipop is food, ergo it makes sense that that would be his go-to oral-fixation-relief (and not too surprising he's got an oral fixation due to the starvation)- it does NOT make sense that he'd start or continue a habit that dulls the habiteer's sense of smell and taste.
Although I like Oda's response that "Sanji doesn't give a fuck" regarding his smoking habit interfering with his taste buds because he's that bad-ass of a chef, I agree with Anvildude that there's something to be said about the lollipop idea. My personal headcannon regarding the lollipop is that they are special made vinegar-pickled ginger pops, a common palette cleanser in Japan. They often look red so that matches the coloring in the anime. Just a thought.
Oh, come on...
As if murderizing someone with a sprok isn't way more badass than doing it with a butterknife.
...
That sound wromg somehow.
Speaking of panle 5, it should be either "highly likely" or just "likely".
Sorry, still same Anon, just had trouble connecting the starkiller on this page with the one mentioned on the previous one, and then I took Sal seriously and got even more confused :)

In the 4Kids print of this comic, they thought Starkiller was too dark so they changed it to Skywalker. Also Buggy is holding a spork in panel 5.

And Sanji's lollipop is adorning Marceline's left hand.

Personally, I liked that particular change.

You DO know Sanji picked up both of these habits from Zeff, right?
