Most circuit breakers should never be used as a "switch" as they are not designed for switch service. Constantly flipping the breaker will cause it to weaken and fail prematurely.

Most circuit breakers should never be used as a "switch" as they are not designed for switch service. Constantly flipping the breaker will cause it to weaken and fail prematurely.
If you desire to use it as such it should be, or be replaced with, a circuit breaker labeled "SWD" or "HID" as these are rated to handle switching service.
