Is the tv show Breaking Bad based on a true story?

AMC’s series “Breaking Bad” about Walter White, a chemistry teacher who operates a meth lab is not based on a true story. Creator Vince Gilligan confessed that he remembers talking to a writer friend about quitting writing and starting another career such as cooking meth. Gilligan said, “Obviously, we were joking. But this character sprung into my head. I've never had that happen to me before.”
