World Smile Day 2022: History, Significance, And All That You Need To Know

The idea for World Smile Day was initially put forth by American artist Harvey Ball when he created the recognisable smiling face image in 1963.

New Delhi: World Smile Day is celebrated on the first Friday of October every year. This year it is on October 7. A simple smile may relieve even the worst stress in our life. It is even better when we are able to bring a smile to someone else's face. This is what World Smile Day is all about.

World Smile Day 2022: A brief history

The idea for World Smile Day was initially put forth by American artist Harvey Ball. He created the recognisable smiling face image in 1963. Harvey eventually realised that the "over-commercialization" of his insignia had robbed it of its original meaning.

He created the idea for World Smile Day, a day devoted to deeds of kindness, as a consequence of his anxiety. The first Friday in October has been recognised as World Smile Day since 1999. The Harvey Ball World Smile Foundation was founded in his honour when he passed away in 2001.
