Carbon monoxide is formed by incomplete combusion.......and have toxic nature while carbon dioxide is not that much bad for us .........and yes a very common reason is that when we inhale and if carbon monoxide will react with haemoglobin in our blood then it will form a complex named Carboxyhaemoglobin.......which is much more stable than that haemoglobin which was already present........so ......it will stop circulation in our body.....hope it is clear to u.....if any doubt then ask without hesitation

Carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide (CO) gases are emitted during the combustion of various fuels. Carbon monoxide is poisonous, whereas carbon-dioxide is non-toxic in nature. Carbon monoxide is poisonous because it is capable of forming a complex with haemoglobin (carboxyhaemoglobin), which is more stable than the oxygen-haemoglobin complex. The concentration range of 3-4% of carboxyhaemoglobin decreases the oxygen-carrying capacity of blood. This results in headaches, weak eyesight, nervousness, and cardiovascular disorders. A more increased concentration may even lead to death.  Carbon dioxide is not poisonous. It proves harmful only at very high concentrations.
