The world doesn't become a better place through appearances. People should smile if they're actually happy, not because they're being coerced into it.

Smiling is not just an appearance. There have been several studies that show smiling improves person's mood, even when it's artificial. It's called Facial Feedback Hypothesis. So yes, being reminded to smile, can be a genuine advice to improve one's mood. It's still not the best approach though.
