We were designed to inhale 21% oxygen.

Of course, if its concentration is also lower, we might suffocate.
This is one of those "you can't live without it, but can't continue living with it" cases.

EDIT: A quick search on Google pointed me to several sources that say oxygen is 0% flammable. Couldn't find anything on the oxygen concentration in the lungs though.

Maybe try this?
Cigarette ignites oxygen, killing man.
And I ain't got any more sources.

Nothing more solid than that.
