can't help laughing vs can't help laughs

The correct phrase is 'can't help laughing.' The verb 'laughing' should be in the gerund form to convey the idea that the action of laughing is involuntary. 'Can't help laughs' is incorrect because 'laughs' is a verb in the present tense, which does not fit the structure of the expression.
