Japan Passes Laughter Law to Promote Health and Happiness

The local government in Japan’s Yamagata prefecture has passed an ordinance encouraging residents to laugh at least once daily to improve their mental and physical health.

The Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) introduced and passed the law last week.
The law asks business operators to create a work environment filled with laughter.
The eighth day of every month has been designated as a “laughing day” for residents to “promote health through laughter”.
There is no penalty for individuals who fail to laugh daily.
The law is based on research from Yamagata University’s Faculty of Medicine, which links laughter to improved health and longevity.
Some opposition lawmakers from the Japanese Communist Party (JCP) and the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan (CDPJ) have argued that the law is a violation of human rights and that it does not consider those who may have difficulty laughing due to illness or injury.
