If there is carbon in the bloodstream, it limits the supply of oxygen to the body. Each red blood cell is designed to carry four molecules of oxygen, and when these reach the muscles, organs etc the oxygen will diffuse into the blood tissue. When a carbon molecule (including carbon monoxide/dioxide) occupies one of these spaces however, it can't diffuse into the tissue and so the blood cell can not carry enough oxygen throughout the body.
