Good question. Such a good question, in fact, that I couldn't find a straight answer. Laughing to the point of tears involves emotions, and although scientists are discovering a lot of interesting things about emotions, they're hard to study scientifically.
It is basically said that you cry in response to emotion, either good or bad, because of signals from higher centers in your brain that tell your tear glands that you're sad or happy. If you look at other things your body is doing while you weep,
it's not too surprising that you can cry while laughing also. The facial expressions of laughing and crying are similar, and even your breathing pattern is similar, first you take a long deep breath, and then you let out short, sharp breaths, in both laughing and weeping. It's an odd thing. But its the greatest feeling isn't it?

You are wrong. You do not cry when you laugh. It is tears. Tears can come out from both of crying and laughing.

Tears of joy!!!!! When you cry, in general, it just symbolizes that you're "pouring out" emotion. People don't just cry out of sadness.

when you laugh your face muscles contort and stretch and this opens up your tear ducts...
