The atmosphere is Jupiter is mainly composed of hydrogen (~90%) and helium (~10%). Since there is absolutely no oxygen, you would quickly suffocate if you were to attempt to breathe in the air (assuming, of course, that the atmospheric pressure and temperature didn't kill you first).

Is there water in the air you breathe in?

Yes Jupiter does have water. But it isn't "on" Jupiter. It is in the form of water vapor in the cloud tops. Jupiter does not have any air on it. If you travel to Jupiter, you will not be able to breathe because Jupiter's air is Just Gas. But if you wear An astronaut helmet then maybe you can breathe a little bit.
