I won't have any

Kim: The cake will be ready in 20 mins.
Jack: That's great, Kim, but I won't have any. There are a few things that I need to take care of.

Would it be odd to say "I won't have any"?

Gene93Would it be odd to say "I won't have any"?
Opinions will vary. It seems "un-American" to me.

... great ..., but I don't want any seems more natural to my American ear.

That said, there's nothing wrong with the "won't" version.

Is it true most people would say "I don't care for any"? I can't remember the last time I heard it, but it is probably just me and my native friends. I can't say we are the smartest people on Earth.

I have no data to confirm or deny that.

It's not a matter of being able to say it. It's a matter of how many people you can get to believe it.
