There are a multiple reasons for low oxygen saturation, including cardiovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pneumonia, cardiomyopathy, and even dehydration. The main problem is that the body is starved for oxygen. When the bloodstream does not receive enough oxygen from either the lungs or heart or a disease or illness is depleting the oxygen from the bloodstream, the organs and the brain suffer. Injury and blood loss will also cause low oxygen saturation.

What chemicals in cigarette causes lack of oxygen?
Carbon monoxide in cigarette smoke is the main chemical that causes a lack of oxygen in the body. It binds to hemoglobin in the blood more readily than oxygen, reducing the amount of oxygen that can be transported around the body. This can lead to a decrease in oxygen levels in the blood and tissues, contributing to the harmful effects of smoking on health.
