Helium is breathable in the sense that it is perfectly nontoxic (it is the most inert of all elements) but of course, if you breathed pure helium you would suffer from lack of oxygen.

Is Jupiter a breathable planet?

Besides the fact that Jupiter is a gas giant and there is no solid ground to stand on, its atmosphere is made mostly of hydrogen (86.2%) and helium (13.6%), with trace amounts of methane, ammonia, water vapor, and other gases. None of these are breathable by humans since the Earth's atmosphere is mostly nitrogen (N3), oxygen (O2), carbon dioxide (CO2), and water vapor (H2O). So no, Jupiter does not have a breathable atmosphere.
