This is general information about a homeopathic remedy, not a prescription or dosing advice. In homeopathy the correct remedy and potency are chosen for the whole individual symptom picture by a qualified homeopath — the same remedy is not right for everyone. Do not self-medicate, and consult a qualified homeopathic doctor (and your physician for serious or persistent conditions) before taking any remedy.

Potency
Tabacum is available in several potencies such as 6C, 30C and 200C, and in lower or biochemic and mother-tincture forms in some cases. The right potency and repetition depend entirely on the individual case and are decided by a qualified homeopath - this page gives no dosing instructions.
The Tabacum picture and modalities
Tabacum pictures the worst of motion sickness - a deathly, sinking nausea with extreme pallor, cold sweat, and giddiness, often with a feeling of a tight band around the head. The great relief is fresh, open air and uncovering the abdomen, while the least motion aggravates. It is a classic sea-sickness remedy. A homeopath weighs this pale, cold-sweating, air-craving nausea within the whole picture.
Before you consider Tabacum
This is background information, not advice to self-treat. Severe or persistent vomiting can cause dehydration, and giddiness or vertigo that occurs without travel or comes with other symptoms needs medical assessment. In homeopathy the right remedy and potency are chosen for the whole individual by a qualified practitioner. Homeopathy should complement, not replace, conventional care.
