One of the problems even with this "last resort" smacking idea is that the child soon learns the highest level of general naughtiness to which they can go to which is safely under the smacking threshold but still naughty enough to ruin your day.
I think teaching better behaviour through other means pays off across all levels of naughtiness and results in less general bedlam.
