Yes.

There are 6.02 x 10e23 molecules in a mole.

2 atoms of oxygen in a molecule of oxygen. Nitrogen molecule also 2 atoms.

A mole of gas is ~22.4 liters.

A normal resting breath of air for an adult is ~500mL

Roughly 99% of air is either oxygen molecules or nitrogen molecules.

[(0.5 liters/breath) divided by (22.4 liters/mole)] times (6.02 x 10e23)

equals ~ 1,340,000,000,000,000,000,000 molecules in every breath

Given that O2 and N2 have 2 atoms/molecule,

there would be twice as many atoms ~2,700,000,000,000,000,000,000/breath

you'd probably have millions, if not billions of atoms that had been breathed by any person who'd ever lived.
