The show has (I think deliberately) shown very little about the use/abuse of meth. I agree with most of what you say here, but I don't agree that "Breaking Bad hasn't done enough..." They produce entertainment; the show would be lessened, cheapened if you will, if they injected anti-use messages. I'm pretty sure TV shows in the USA can get some kick-backs for inserting "drugs are bad" messages, but they don't seem to be focused on that at all in BB, except when it's important for the story (i.e. Pinkman's relapse).
