There are many substances which are hazardous if they get into your body. Some are solids, some are liquids and some are gases. Basically, it is all the same - the substance has some damaging effect on the body - it might render you unconscious or stop your heart or damage your organs or suffocate you, etc. A poisonous gas enters the bloodstream through the lungs when inhaled.

Some gases are poisonous because they can interfere with the normal functioning of the body's cells and organs when inhaled. For example, gases like carbon monoxide can bind to hemoglobin in the blood, preventing oxygen from being transported effectively. Other gases like hydrogen cyanide can disrupt cellular respiration processes.
