Japan makes it mandatory for people to laugh out loud once a day ========== Japan has passed a rule making it mandatory for citizens to laugh at least once a day based on evidence that it reduces the risk of heart attack. The rule is based on a scientific paper published five years ago in the Journal of Epidemiology, which states that laughter has numerous health benefits. Workplaces have also been directed to create an 'environment filled with laughter'. However, the rule is being opposed by some politicians who argue that it infringes on constitutional rights and adversely affects those who cannot laugh due to illness or other reasons. #Japan #Laughter #Health #Law https://www.wionews.com/trending/japan-makes-it-mandatory-for-people-to-laugh-out-loud-once-a-day-739837
