What kind of cigarettes did Kojak smoke and what was the brand of his lollipop?

[luka]

As far as I know, in the very beginning of the series Kojak smoked
cigarettes. He quit in the eighth episode, then switched to the
lollipops. Is that true?

Does anyone know the name of those cigarettes?

Whose idea was it to use the lollipop? I found several explanations.
According to one source it was Savalas himself who wanted to quit
smoking and came up with the lollipop, another says it was the series
originator who suggested it. Still another version has it that the
makers of Kojak wanted to join in the anti-smoking trend that was
becoming popular at the time.

Does anyone know the name of lollipops?

It has been years (decades?) since I've seen an episode of KOJAK
but I have always thought he chewed Tootsie Pops.

Nah, Tootsies have the chewy stuff in the middle. Kojak went for the
straight hard candy, like Dum-Dums.
