I suppose you could use it if you're describing in heavy detail what it is like to breathe - maybe enjoying the feeling or being able to - or in a scientific piece of writing. For example:

"I was slumped on the dirt, disoriented. Lights flashed in front of my eyes, screams and bombs came from behind me. I couldn't feel anything except my breathing. Breathing! I was still alive! It was such a moment of Zen in the midst of all the chaos, just listening to the proof that I was alive. The oxygen had taken a new flavor, was more satisfying. I breathed out the carbon dioxide in a rush just to fill my lungs back up with that glorious, life-saving, god-sent - oxygen!"

That's it. You don't capitalize it unless the 'carbon' is the beginning of a sentence, and you definitely don't abbreviate it when you're writing a story.
