Nitrogen displaces oxygen. You will get symptoms much like carbon monoxide poisoning. Dizziness, light headed, tired, headaches, muscle aches, etc.
If the shop is well ventilated I doubt you will have serious problems. But during the winter when things are more closed up, it could become an issue.

All air is about 78 percent nitrogen, and only about 21 percent oxygen. You breathe it every day and have since you were born. So the answere must be no.

Nitrogen is very toxic.

nitogen is heavier than air,you would have to be in an airtight environment to be affected,you would pass out and die
