The action of using meth can and will destroy your body, along with causing you to want to take more of it. Gambling responsibly is no different than making any other purchase responsibly. All stores (including casinos) are going to try to get you to make impulse purchases, it's up to you to know your limit. Likewise, no one is saying that having a beer is bad.
