By default most of the shells like bash, zsh, ksh have history
option. But you can avoid writing the history of the current
session to the history file by unsetting the HISTFILE environment
variable. So next time when you login the history of the
previous session will not be shown.

Perhaps so, but to me it seems that OP was asking to turn off the
history recall in the current session itself. In bash & zsh,
setting HISTSIZE may be of some value.
