Which chemical in tobacco smoke binds to hemoglobin causing red blood cells to carry less than their normal load oxygen?
Carbon monoxide
What is the chemical found in cigarette smoke that binds to hemoglobin in place of oxygen is?
Cyanide
Which chemical in tobacco smoke binds to hemoglobin causing red blood cells to carry less then their normal load of oxygen?
CO (carbon monoxide). It binds to the same sites on hemoglobin that oxygen would, except with a much greater affinity than oxygen does. Think of hemoglobin as a bus transporting oxygen from the lungs to the peripheral tissues, and think of CO as the guy who takes oxygen's seat so that he can't ride the bus. CO is also the chemical that kills people in house fires from smoke inhalation.

In an unventilated space carbon monoxide from smoke or car exhaust builds up in the blood combining with hemoglobin to form?
When CO is not ventilated it binds to hemoglobin, which is the principal oxygen-carrying compound in blood; this produces a compound known as carboxyhemoglobin. The traditional belief is that carbon monoxide toxicity arises from the formation of carboxyhemoglobin, which decreases the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood and inhibits the transport, delivery, and utilization of oxygen by the body. The affinity between hemoglobin and carbon monoxide is approximately 230 times stronger than the affinity between hemoglobin and oxygen so hemoglobin binds to carbon monoxide in preference to oxygen. ~ Wikipedia.
