How can you prove that air takes up space?

How can air not take up space. I mean, does nitrogen takes up
space? So you would think that if you can condense, it then it
takes up space. If it did not take up space then your lungs would
fill up with nothingness which is a vacuum causing your lungs to
rupture and your whole body ,would ,essentially decompress ( also
it causes atmospheric pressure).
