Explanation / Answer

CO is a better ligand to hemoglobin than Oxygen, actually it is a good thing that oxygen does not make a very strong bond because the hemoglobin needs to drop the oxygen in the system and take oxygen from the environment and repeat this cycle.

in the Hemoglobin we have a Fe+2 core, CO is very strong at binding with this Fe+2 metal it will form carboxy hemoglobin, this will prevent hemoglobine to grab and drop oxygen into the system.

So we can say that CO is acting like a competitive inhibitor to oxygen
