Is it possible for a device to measure how much air we breathe in and out over the entire day and at what rate? I think if we have access to this data we can compare it across people.

What you are looking for is a spirometer. There are different types of spirometers serving different purposes like the Incentive spirometer and the peak flow meter. I would suggest that you go through the wikipedia page on it to get more info.

$\begingroup$ thanks, but then the most advanced spirometer seems to measure breathing only temporarily and not on-the-go i.e. complete day analysis when doing routine tasks. so i guess the state-of-the-art has not reached that level. $\endgroup$ Commented Jul 15, 2014 at 5:41

Another possibility is K4 device and K4 device. Beyond spirometry it can measure other variables such as:
- Pulmonary Gas Exchange (VO2, VCO2)
- Breath by Breath Technology
- Telemetry Data Transmission up to 1000m
- Indirect Calorimetry
- Integrated GPS System
- Integrated Oxygen Saturation (SpO2)
- Integrated 12-lead Stress Testing ECG
