Wikipedia on Smiles

a smile is a facial expression formed by flexing the muscles most notably near both ends of the mouth. The smile can be also around the eyes. Among humans, it is customarily an expression of pleasure, happiness, or amusement, but can also be an involuntary expression of anxiety, in which case it can be known as a grimace. There is much evidence that smiling is a normal reaction to certain stimuli and occurs regardless of culture. Happiness is most often the cause of a smile. Among animals, the exposure of teeth, which may bear a resemblance to a smile, is often used as a threat or warning display - known as a snarl - or a sign of submission. In chimpanzees, it can be a sign of fear.

Smile Attraction

We are naturally more attracted to people when they are smiling. We feel more relaxed and pleasant around smiling people.

People who smile easily also appear more successful because they don't look stressed or fearful.

Humor Gender Differences

Men and women take jokes differently. A study that appeared in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found in a study, 10 men and 10 women all watched 10 cartoons, rating them funny or not funny and if funny, how funny on a scale of 1-10. While doing this, their brains were scanned by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Men and women for the most part agreed which cartoons were funny. However, their brains handled humor differently. Women's brains showed more activity in certain areas, including the nucleus accumbens. When women viewed cartoons they did not find humorous, their nucleus accumbens had a "ho-hum response." A man's nucleus accumbens did not react to funny cartoons, and its natural activity level dropped during unfunny cartoons.
Researchers suspect the element of surprise may be at the heart of the study. They suggested that maybe women did not expect the cartoons to be funny, while men did the opposite. When the men in the study "got what they expected, their nucleus accumbens were calm." However, the women's brains could have had increased activity when they were "pleasantly surprised" by the cartoons' humour. Researchers also suspect that men might have been "let down by unfunny cartoons, causing a dip in that brain area's activity."
It was indicated that this study might be a clue about the different emotional responses between men and women and could help with depression research. The research suggests men and women "differ in how humour is used and appreciated," says Allan Reiss, M.D. WebMD 2005

Laugh for Your Heart

Mental stress impairs the endothelium, the protective barrier lining blood vessels. Once the endothelium is impaired, it can cause inflammatory reactions that lead to cholesterol build-up in coronary arteries. This can cause a heart attack.
Laughter boosts the immune system, & relieves stress.

Laugh with Friends; It Feels Great!

What is Laughter?

According to Wikipedia

Laughter is an audible expression or appearance of merriment or amusement or an inward feeling of joy and pleasure (laughing on the inside). It may ensue (as a physiological reaction) from smokes, tickling and other stimuli. Inhaling nitrous oxide can also induce laughter; other drugs, such as cannabis, can also induce episodes of strong laughter. Strong laughter can sometimes bring an onset of tears or even moderate muscular pain as a physical response to the act.
Laughter is a part of human behaviour regulated by the brain. It helps humans clarify their intentions in social interaction and provides an emotional context to conversations. Laughter is used as a signal for being part of a group - it signals acceptance and positive interactions with others. Laughter is sometimes seemingly contagious, and the laughter of one person can itself provoke laughter from others. This may account in part for the popularity of laugh tracks in situation comedy television shows.
