Does your one year old respond well to being told no?

Hi, I have a 16 month old boy and he sometimes doesn’t listen to me. I’d describe my parenting style as being pretty relaxed and I rarely tell him no unless it’s unsafe for him or inconveniencing others however when I do tell him no he doesn’t listen. For example earlier on today he was putting his toddler snacks between the sofa cushions (they’re the type that can melt so it would cause a big mess) and I told him to stop and he didn’t even look over at me. I eventually walked over to him and tried to move him away and redirect his attention but he started crying and went to go back to the sofa with the snacks in his hand and tried to do it again. So when I pulled him away and took the snacks out of his hands after telling him no again he cried and stomped his feet and had a mini tantrum. He usually does that for 2-3 minutes and then goes back to normal but he does this everytime he’s told no. Is that normal? Should I be doing something different?
