I am just doing some homework and I can't make the sentence I want.

Concretely, I want to write

> "If you start smoking again, I'm going to give you a good spanking."

If I say this in England or other parts in Europe (in a different language)
the person I am telling this will laugh (or at least smile). Because of course
I am not actually going to beat them up even if they start smoking again.

How can I say this in Japanese?

How to say "I'm going to spank you if..."?
There are so many ways to render it with a similar effect. Idiolect could play
a significant role, reflecting one's generation, gender, personality,
proclivity to use humor, etc.

The addressee's reaction could depend on HOW you say it, too, e.g., with
affected seriousness, with subtle cuteness, a deadpan tone/face, furrowed
brows with eyes smiling, etc.

Just a few examples that come to mind: また吸い始めたら +お仕置きするからね +ただじゃおかないからね
+さらし首かな +縛り首（しばりくび）だな +ギロチンだね +死刑だよ +おへそガリガリの刑だからね（dozens of variations are
possible on this 〜の刑).

For added emphasis you could repeat the noun part immediately after these,
e.g., ギロチンだね、ギロチン！(with or without the exclamation mark).
