As I see it (as a parent of 9 yrs) there is a fine line between discipline and abuse . . . as has been stated above, if emotion (ie, anger/frustration) is removed from the disciplinary process it is the call of the parent in question. Different children respond to situations differently. My eldest son when smacked would either laugh at you and let you know it didn't hurt, or howl like a banshee with its head cut off . . . either way you couldn't win.
Having said that the odd smack never hurt me (in the long run).
